Endrin ketone is a photolytic degradation product of endrin, an organochlorine pesticide that was widely used until its heavy restrictions due to persistence and toxicity. This compound is of significant interest in environmental chemistry and toxicology research. Studies involving endrin ketone focus on its behavior in the environment, particularly its potential for bioaccumulation and the long-term ecological risks posed by its presence. Researchers use it to understand the degradation pathways of persistent organic pollutants and to assess the effectiveness of environmental remediation techniques. Monitoring the levels of endrin ketone in various ecosystems helps in evaluating the persistence of organochlorine compounds post-ban and provides data for ecological risk assessments. Additionally, its interactions with biological receptors and the subsequent biochemical responses are examined to determine the extent of its impact on wildlife and possibly human health.
