| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A colorless crystalline solid. Insoluble in water and sinks in water. Toxic by inhalation, skin absorption or ingestion. Used as a pesticide. | [Reactivity Profile]
TDE is a halogenated hydrocarbon. Compounds in this group may react with acids, bases, and oxidizing and reducing agents. They are incompatible with alkali, and strong oxidizers, in particular. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Potential Exposure]
A potential danger to those involved in the manufacture, formulation and application of this insecticide. In an action of March 18, 1971, EPA cancelled all pesticide uses of this product which is a metabolite of DDT. Hence it is no longer manufactured commercially. | [Fire Hazard]
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating hydrogen chloride fumes may form in fires. | [First aid]
Skin Contact: Flood all areas of the body that have contacted the substance with water. Don’t wait to remove contaminated clothing; do it under the water stream. Use soap to help assure removal. Isolate contaminated clothing when removed to prevent contact by others. Eye Contact: Remove any contact lenses at once. Flush eyes well with copious quantities of water or normal saline for at least 20-30 minutes. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Leave contaminated area immediately; breathe fresh air. Proper respiratory protection must be supplied to any rescuers. If coughing, difficult breathing or any other symptoms develop, seek medical attention at once, even if symptoms develop many hours after exposure. Ingestion: If convulsions are not present, give a glass or two of water or milk to dilute the substance. Assure that the person’s airway is unobstructed and contact a hospital or poison center immediately for advice on whether or not to induce vomiting. Medical observation is recommended following acute overexposure. | [Shipping]

Biological. It was reported that p,p′-DDD, a major biodegradation product of p,p′-
DDT, was degraded by Aerobacter aerogenes under aerobic conditions to yield 1-chloro-
2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene, 1-chloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane and 1,1-bis(pchlorophenyl)ethylene. Under anaerobic conditions, however, four additional compounds
were identified: bis(p-chlorophenyl)acetic acid, p,p′-dichlorodiphenylmethane, p,p′-
dichlorobenzhydrol and p,p′-dichlorobenzophenone (Fries, 1972). Under reducing conditions, indigenous microbes in Lake Michigan sediments degraded DDD to 2,2-bis(pchlorophenyl)ethane and 2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethanol (Leland et al., 1973). Incubation
of p,p′-DDD with hematin and ammonia gave 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone, 1-chloro-2,2-
bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene and bis(p-chlorophenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (Quirke et
al., 1979). Using settled domestic wastewater inoculum, p,p′-DDD (5 and 10 mg/L) did
not degrade after 28 days of incubation at 25°C (Tabak et al., 1981).
Chemical/Physical. The hydrolysis rate constant for p,p′-DDD at pH 7 and 25°C was
determined to be 2.8 × 10–6/hour, resulting in a half-life of 28.2 years (Ellington et al.,
1987). 2,2-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1-chloroethene and hydrochloric acid were | [Purification Methods]
