Description

Chlorpyrifos is an amber to white crystalline broad spectrum organophosphate and cholinesterase inhibitor. It was originally developed to kill the larval stage of mosquitoes, but is now used to treat cutworms, corn rootworms, cockroaches, grubs, flea beetles, flies, termites, fire ants, and lice found on crops such as cotton, fruit, nuts, vegetables, as well as lawns and ornamental plants. Chlorpyrifos can also be applied directly on sheep, turkeys, in dog kennels, domestic dwellings, farm buildings, and storage bins. It is moderately poisonous to humans causing skin and eye irritation. If chlorpyrifos is absorbed through the skin, inhaled, or ingested, systemic intoxication from the inhibition of cholinesterase activity has been known to occur. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that chlorpyrifos does not affect human reproduction, is not teratogenic, is not mutagenic, and is not carcinogenic. Chlorpyrifos is toxic to birds, freshwater fish, aquatic invertebrates, and estuarine and marine organisms. Chlorpyrifos can be extremely toxic to wildlife and honeybees.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/carbaryl-dicrotophos/chlorpyrifos-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
