Abstract
Chlordane was, prior to regulatory action of EPA [USA Environmental Protection Agency] in 1976, an extensively used insecticide for household and agricultural pest control purposes. It was readily available to the general public for many years; human exposure, including poisonings, had been documented. A case reporting fatal chlordane ingestion with residue levels in various body tissues was presented. Analyses were performed by GLC. The highest residue levels were reported in stomach contents, liver, brain and adipose tissue.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
