Decachlorobiphenyl is a PCB which was found to be an industrial pollutant PCB 209
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of organic compounds with 1 to 10 chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, which is a molecule composed of two benzene rings. Dichlorobiphenyl Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs are semivolatile organic compounds used predominantly as dielectric fluids in capacitors and transformers Most applications used oily or waxy mixtures of different PCBs that differ from each other in the number and location of chlorine atoms around the aromatic carbon rings. PCB's toxicity and classification as persistent organic pollutants, PCB production was banned by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in the 1970s.
