NCIt synonyms : Decachloroketone; Compound 1189; Decachlorotetracyclodecanone; Decachlorooctahydro-kepone-2-one; Decachlorooctahydro-1,3,4-metheno-2H-cyclobuta(cd)-pentalen-2-one;

NCIt definition : A very stable, colorless, odorless, synthetic chlorinated polycyclic hydrocarbon that is a degradation product of Mirex. Chlordecone has been used as an insecticide on bananas, non-bearing citrus trees, tobacco, lawns and flowers. Exposure to this substance causes neurological symptoms, such as tremors and slurred speech. Chlordecone is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. (NCI05);
