Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s):	persistent organic pollutant Any environmental contaminant that is resistant to environmental degradation through photolytic, biological or chemical processes. Such substances can have significant impact on health and the environment, as they persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in animal tissue and so biomagnify in food chains.

Biological Role(s):	GABA-gated chloride channel antagonist antibacterial agent A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. antifungal agent An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.

Application(s):	agrochemical An agrochemical is a substance that is used in agriculture or horticulture. insecticide Strictly, a substance intended to kill members of the class Insecta. In common usage, any substance used for preventing, destroying, repelling or controlling insects. (via organochlorine insecticide ) pesticide Strictly, a substance intended to kill pests. In common usage, any substance used for controlling, preventing, or destroying animal, microbiological or plant pests. (via organochlorine pesticide )
