QUICK LINKS
Chlordecone is a synthetic chlorinated organic compound, notable for its use as a pesticide. This compound operates through a specific mechanism of action, primarily affecting the nervous system of targeted pest species by disrupting the normal function of neurotransmitters, which are critical for nerve impulse transmission. In research applications, chlordecone has been extensively studied for its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential, leading to significant interest in its impact on ecosystems and wildlife. Studies have focused on understanding its degradation pathways, environmental distribution, and the mechanisms through which it exerts toxic effects on non-target organisms. Its role in research extends to serving as a model compound for studying the long-term environmental and ecological consequences of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which remain in ecosystems for extended periods and pose risks to environmental health and biodiversity.
