Good gravy! Did you know that 2,7:3,6-Dimethanonaphth [2,3-b]oxirene,3,4,5,6,9,9-hexachloro-1a,2,2a,3,6,6a,7,7a-octahydro-, (1aalpha,2beta,2abeta,3alpha,6alpha,6abeta,7beta,7aalpha)- metabolites are CERCLA regulated substances?? Me either 'till just now. Man, that changes everything!
This easily takes the award for the most gnarled and ghastly chemical name I've ever come across. I've never even seen, let alone been taught about the alpha and abeta nomenclature in there! Heh - the common name is probably something like "Red Dust" :-P
It's funny to see the kind of contortions we get ourselves into when we try to name the chemicals that God put in this world. We can hardly even adequately describe most of the stuff around us!
--1,2-dimethylclear-[2alpha,2abeta-tris-nonylambassador]phosphite
