NCIt definition : A white, odorless and tasteless, very stable, water-insoluble, synthetic, crystalline
chlorinated hydrocarbon that is soluble in most organic solvents, fat and oils and
tends to accumulate in ecosystems. Clofenotane was once widely used as a pesticide
to control insects in agriculture and to control malaria, typhus and body lice, but
its use is now limited. Exposure to clofenotane mainly affects the nervous system
resulting in tremors, dizziness, nausea, incoordination, convulsions and seizures.
