Descriptor endosulfano
Scope note: Compuesto policlorado utilizado para el control de diversos insectos. Es prácticamente insoluble en agua, pero se adhiere fácilmente a partículas de arcilla y pesiste en el suelo y en el agua durante varios años. Su modo de acción involucra descargas nerviosas repetitivas correlacionadas positivamente con un incremento de la temperatura. Este compuesto es extremadamente tóxico para la mayoría de los peces.

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.
