A toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin detected in domestic meat and poultry.
ChEBI: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is a polychlorinated dibenzodioxine.
Colorless crystals or white crystalline solid.
Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN, are very unreactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
Flash point data for 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN are not available; however, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-OCTACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN is probably combustible.
Poison by ingestion. An
experimental teratogen. An eye irritant.
Questionable carcinogen with experimental
tumorigenic data. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-.
