p,p’-DDE (Cat No.:R061815) is the primary and persistent metabolite of the organochlorine pesticide DDT. Highly stable and lipophilic, it bioaccumulates in fatty tissues and biomagnifies through the food chain, making it an important marker in environmental and toxicological studies. p,p’-DDE is linked to endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, and potential carcinogenic effects in wildlife and humans. Its long environmental half-life makes it significant in monitoring pollution and assessing ecological risk. In research, it is widely used to investigate pesticide metabolism, persistence, and impacts on human and environmental health.
