α-Chlordane（Cat No.:R018008）is one of the isomers of chlordane, a chlorinated cyclodiene insecticide that was widely used for pest control in agriculture and homes. It is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) with a stable, lipophilic structure that allows it to bioaccumulate in the environment and living organisms. α-Chlordane is highly toxic to aquatic life and has been linked to adverse health effects in humans, including potential neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and carcinogenicity. Due to its environmental persistence and toxicity, its production and use have been banned or severely restricted under international agreements like the Stockholm Convention.
