MeSH Heading: Endosulfan
Tree Number(s): D02.886.092.408; D03.633.100.197.408
Unique ID: D004726
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D004726
Scope Note: 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.
