Abstract The metabolic fate of toxaphene was studied by perfusion experiments with isolated bovine livers. Metabolic patterns were elucidated by examining toxaphene components and toxaphene derived products in perfusate and liver tissue using gas liquid chromatography/electron capture detection. These patterns revealed that the bovine liver is capable of a very rapid uptake of toxaphene components from the blood followed by a rapid rate of dechlorination. The liver also accumulates partially dechlorinated products with a subsequentslow rate of further degradation.
