Chlordane residues in marine biota and sediment from an intertidal sandbank in Manukau Harbour, New Zealand

Residues of organochlorine pesticides in honeys from different geographic regions

“…26 (Hawaii,USA) and No. 29 (New Zealand) might be attributed to spot-source pollution, because chlordanes have been heavily used in Hawaii for control of termites and red ants (Brasher & Anthony, 2000;Simpson, Wilkins, Langdon, & Wilcock, 1996).…”

Chlordane as undesirable substance in animal feed - Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain

“…Miyazaki et al (1985) found MC5 to be 2.3 % of the technical mixture, MC6 to be 0.8 % and MC7 to be 1.9 %. Additionally, unreacted chlordene is a minor component of technical chlordane, but caged hexachloro compounds resulting from Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of chlordene exist, often named α-, β-, and γ-chlordene, compounds that have been detected in environmental samples (Dearth and Hites, 1991a;Simpson et al, 1996). Hence these data clearly show that the composition of technical chlordane may vary considerably.…”
