Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the metabolism 2, 2¹, 4, 4¹, 5, 5¹ – Hexachlorobiphenyl (C1₆-PCB). This isomer is a major containing more than 50% weight-to-weight (w/w) chlorine.¹ To investigate this isomer, we obtained it in ³⁶C1 labeled and non-labeled forms. We developed procedures to isolate and purify both forms of the hexachlorobiphenyl for further study. The ³⁶C1 labeled biphenyl was then introduced into test animals for metabolic studies.
