Entry term(s) 1,1,1-tricloro-2,2-bis(4-clorofenil)-etano
dicloro difenil tricloroetano
Scope note: Pesticida policlorado resistente a la destrucción por la luz y la oxidación. Su estabilidad inusual ha dado lugar a dificultades en la eliminación de residuos del agua, suelo y productos alimenticios. Se puede anticipar razonablemente que esta sustancia sea carcinógena: Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP-85-002, 1985). (Traducción libre del original: Merck Index, 11ª ed)
