Categorization of chlordecone potential transformation products to predict their environmental fate

2016

EABIOmE; Chlordecone (C10Cl10O; CAS number 143-50-0) has been used extensively as an organochlorine insecticide but is nowadays banned and listed on annex A in The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Although experimental evidences of biodegradation of this compound are scarce, several dechlorination products have been proposed by Dolfing et al. (2012) using Gibbs free energy calculations to explore different potential transformation routes. We here present the results of an in silico classification (TyPol similar to Typology of Pollutants) of chlordecone transformation products (TPs) based on statistical analyses combining several environmental endpoints and struc…
