Description:

Chlorodibenzofurans, or CDFs, are a family of chemicals that contain one to eight chlorine atoms attached to the carbon atoms of the parent chemical, dibenzofuran. There are 135 different types of CDFs called congeners. The different congeners have varying harmful health effects. CDF congeners that contain chlorine atoms at the 2,3,7,8- positions of the dibenzofuran molecule are known to be especially harmful.

There is no known use for these chemicals. Other than for research purposes, they are not deliberately produced by industry. Most CDFs are produced in small amounts as undesirable byproducts during the manufacturing of other chemicals. CDFs can also be released from incinerators and landfill fires.
