The document compares the chemical properties and health effects of chlordane and hexachlorobutadiene. Chlordane is an amber-colored pesticide that was banned in the US due to its toxicity. It accumulates in fat tissues and causes nervous system, liver, and cancer risks. Hexachlorobutadiene is used in rubber compounds and solvents. It smells like turpentine and breaks down readily in soil, but can accumulate in fish and shellfish. Breathing or ingesting it poses risks such as nasal irritation, low birth weight, and liver and kidney damage. Both chemicals are suspected carcinogens.

2.  Chlorodane will always  Hexachlorobutadiene
be over here!!! will always be over
here!!!

3. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Formula: C10H6Cl8  Formula: C4Cl6
 Reacts with strong  Reaction depends on
oxidizers and alkaline heat and temperature
reagents
 Breaks down into
toxic gas when heated

4. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Amber colored  Smells like turpentine
 Unstable in weak alkali  Not found naturally in
 Stable, though, in acid the environment
and alkaline conditions
 Chlorine like odor

5. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Ingestion of high in fat  Breathing
meat products ITS  Eating
FAT SOLUABLE  Drinking
 Inhalation

6. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Pest Control!!  Rubber compounds
 Solvent
 Lubricants
 Gyroscopes
 Heat transfer liquid
 Hydraulic fluid

7. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Banned in the US and  Exposure to children
can only be used for shouldn’t exceed
subterranean bugs 0.3mg/L
 Lowest dose to cause  Adults: 0.4mg/L
death is 29-40mg/kg

8. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Bioaccumulator  Readily breaks down in
 Stays in the soil
environment for a long  Can accumulate in fish
time and shellfish

9. Chlordane Hexachlorobutadiene
 Nervous system  Not much is known
problems about the effects on
 Liver problems humans but mice had
 Increased risk of cancer nasal irritation and low
baby weight
 Suspected carcinogen
 Liver and kidney
damage
