Follow on Google News | Chlordane Pesticides, Still a Concern for Chicago Property Owners & RentersThe environmental and building consulting experts at EC2 provide inspection and testing services for chlordane and other dangerous pesticides.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned all uses of chlordane in 1983, except for termite control due to health and environmental concerns. It was banned by the EPA for all applications in 1988. Due to its slow degradation rates it lasts for years in the environment and bio-accumulates in animals, including humans. Exposure to chlordane and its metabolites has been associated with testicular, prostate, breast, brain and blood cancers. Other health effects include migraines, respiratory infections, diabetes and depression. It has been found to be one of the most potent carcinogens tested in animal models.
