Chlordane, a persistent organochlorine insecticide, was once widely used for pest control in agriculture and termite control in buildings. However, its toxic properties and environmental persistence led to its ban in many countries. Despite regulatory measures, chlordane residues still linger in soil and water, posing risks to ecosystems and human health through bioaccumulation in the food chain. Ongoing efforts focus on monitoring and remediation to reduce exposure and prevent further environmental contamination, highlighting the importance of responsible pesticide management and sustainable pest control practices.
