9780662253952Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Chlordane is a pesticide that was widely used in the past to control termites and other insects in homes, gardens, and on crops. It belongs to a group of chemicals known as persistent organic pollutants, or POPs, which means it does not break down easily in the environment and can build up in the bodies of animals and people over time. Because of these properties, the Stockholm Convention on POPs, a global treaty, added chlordane to its list of chemicals for elimination in 2004. This means countries that signed the treaty have agreed to stop producing and using chlordane to protect human health and the environment. While it is no longer used in many places, it can still be found in old soil or buildings where it was applied years ago. The Stockholm Convention classifies chlordane under Annex A, which requires its phase-out. For more details, see the Stockholm Convention on POPs at https://www.pops.int/TheConvention/ThePOPs/ListingofPOPs/. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
