Abstract

Organochlorine pesticide pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil, sediments, and air has been recognized as a major problem in many countries because of the persistence in different environments and the consequent potential adverse health effects. This report presents a review of literature on organochlorine insecticide of endosulfan, which has been used extensively for agricultural purposes. It summarizes information on nomenclature, physical-chemical properties, production, metabolism, degradation, distribution in the environment, toxicity, regulation, and technologies for the treatment of water and soil contaminated with this pesticide.
