| Abstract |
Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD) has been found in the environment in southeastern Louisiana in addition to other parts of the world. In this region it is a byproduct of the petrochemical industry. HCBD has been used as an insecticide in central European orchards and vineyards where excessive contact has caused illness in humans. In this study, soil, water and organism samples were collected periodically in 1974 and 1975 from sites in southeastern Louisiana, with emphasis along the Mississippi River and an industrial region of known contamination of HCBD near Geismar, Louisiana. Maximum HCBD concentrations in water from the two areas were 1.9 and 4.7 microgram/l (ppb). Maximum HCBD concentrations in soil from the two areas were 790 and 1,080 microgram/Kg (ppb). Laboratory experiments with the compound included acute toxicity studies in aquatic systems and through injection in fish and crayfish. Accumulation and depuration rates were determined and observations made with histological slides of tissue. |
