Common name: Heptachlor epoxide
Short description: Heptachlor epoxide is formed from the pollutant heptachlor in the environment.
CAS registry number: 1024-57-3
Keyword: heptachlor metabolite
Keyword: POP
Layman's explanation: Heptachlor epoxide is an oxygenated metabolite of heptachlor (an organochhlorine pesticide that was used on crops and for termite control). Living organisms metabolize heptachlor most commonly to the epoxide. Heptachlor epoxide more stable in the environment than heptachlor itself and accumulates in soils, sediments, and biota. It has been found in human breast milk due to exposure to contaminated food, that is: crops that have been grown in soil to which heptachlor was applied, products from animals (diary and meats) that have eaten those crops, and fish that has been polluted by agricultural runoff.
