Chlordecone is an organochlorine insecticide that was used extensively in the French West Indies from 1973 to 1993 to control the banana weevil. Due to persistent soil contamination and contamination of the food chain, the population remains exposed to chlordecone to this day. Epidemiological studies have recently shown that environmental exposure to chlordecone is associated with the occurrence of adverse health events. Due to its well-defined hormonal characteristics, chlordecone is considered an endocrine disruptor. Its estrogenic and progestogenic properties may partly explain the adverse effects observed.
