Howard, Philip H.; Muir, Derek C. G. published the artcile< Identifying New Persistent and Bioaccumulative Organics Among Chemicals in Commerce>, Recommanded Product: 2,3,4,6-Tetrachloropyridine, the main research area is identifying new persistent bioaccumulative organic chem.
This work identified com. chems. which may be persistent and bioaccumulative (P&B) and are not being considered in current Great Lakes, North American, and Arctic pollutant measurement programs. The authors combined the Canadian Domestic Substance List (DSL; a list of 3059 substances of unknown or variable composition complex reaction products and biol. materials) and the USEPA Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory Update Rule database for years 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2006, yielding a database of 22,263 com. chems. From that list, 610 chems. were identified by estimates from USEPA EPISuite software and using expert judgment. This work yielded some interesting, probable P&B chems. which should be considered for addnl. study. Recent studies, following initial reports and presentations on this work, confirmed the environmental presence of many of these chems.
