Definition
English
:
A man-made compound previously used to
control
termites and other insects. Even though production of
heptachlor
was phased out of use in the
United States
during the late 1980's it remains in soil and
hazardous waste sites
. It is clearly toxic to
animals
and
humans
but, the International Agency for
Research
on Cancer (IARC) has determined that
heptachlor
is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans
. (From ATSDR Public Heath Statement, April 1989)
