Abstract:
Male pathogen-free JCL:ICR mice were dosed i.p. 1 mg of 1,8-and 2,7-dichloronaphthalenes and octachloronaphthalene dissolved in olive oil. The highest levels of all chlorinated naphthalenes were found in adipose tissue. The biological half-life of octachloronaphthalene was longer than both dichloronaphthalenes while the half-life of 2,7-dichloronaphthalene was longer than that of 1,8-dichloronaphthalene in most tissues.
