Endosulfan 硫丹
Introduction: Endosulfan is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide of the cyclodiene subgroup which acts as a contact poison in a wide variety of insects and mites. It can also be used as a wood preservative. It is used primarily on food crops like tea, fruits, vegetables and on grains. The commercial product is made up of a mixture of two separate parts (isomers): the alpha and beta configurations. Endosulfan will be considered as a single (homogenous) product unless otherwise stated in this profile.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
EHC 40 (WHO, 1984). Animals The principal route of elimination is faeces; most of the radioactivity is excreted within the first 48 hours. The amounts excreted are independent of dose level, number of dosages and isomerism. There are indications of species-specificity. Residues of endosulfan accumulate in the kidneys rather than in fat. Elimination from the kidneys takes place with DT50 7 d, but there is no sign of accumulation in the kidneys even after long-term feeding. Endosulfan is metabolised rapidly in mammalian organisms to less-toxic metabolites and to polar conjugates. Plants The plant metabolites (mainly endosulfan sulfate) were also found in animals and have thus been investigated from a toxicological point of view. 50% of residues are lost in 3-7 days (depending on plant species). Soil/Environment Endosulfan (alpha- and beta-) is degraded in soil with DT50 30-70 d. The main metabolite usually found was endosulfan sulfate, which is degraded more slowly and is, for this reason, the most important metabolite. DT50 for total endosulfan (alpha- and beta- endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate) in the field is 5-8 mo. No leaching tendency was observed. Koc 3000-20 000; Kd <3%.
Usage: Endosulfan was developed by Hoechst AG (now Bayer Crop Science). Endosulfan is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide and acaricide of the cyclodiene subgroup which acts as a poison to a wide variety of insects and mites on contact. Although it may also be used as a wood preservative, it is used primarily on a wide variety of food crops including tea, coffee, fruits, and vegetables, as well as on rice, cereals, maize, sorghum, or other grains.
Application: Biochemistry Antagonist of the GABA receptor-chloride channel complex. Mode of action Non-systemic insecticide and acaricide with contact and stomach action. Uses Control of sucking, chewing, and boring insects and mites on a very wide range of crops, including fruit (including citrus), vines (0.1-0.2%), olives, vegetables including potatoes (0.1-0.2%), ornamentals, cucurbits, cotton (1.5-2.5 l/ha), tea (1.0-2.0 l/ha), coffee (1.5-2.0 l/ha), rice (1.5-2.0 l/ha), cereals (1.0-2.0 l/ha), maize and sorghum (1.5-2.5 l/ha), oilseed crops (1.0-2.0 l/ha), hops, hazels, sugar cane (1.5-2.5 l/ha), tobacco (0.8-1.5 l/ha), alfalfa, mushrooms, forestry, glasshouse crops, etc. Also controls tsetse flies. Phytotoxicity Glasshouse geraniums and chrysanthemums, alfalfa, and lima beans may be injured.
