Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are polyhalogenated hydrocarbons as are hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs). They all have been classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the UN Stockholm Convention. Per se such compounds are transformed slowly i...
