Preferred Label : endosulfan;
MeSH definition : A polychlorinated compound used for controlling a variety of insects. It is practically
water-insoluble, but readily adheres to clay particles and persists in soil and water
for several years. Its mode of action involves repetitive nerve-discharges positively
correlated to increase in temperature. This compound is extremely toxic to most fish.
