Dicofol

Dicofol is one of the last remaining, commonly-used organochlorine pesticides. One of its intermediate products is DDT, which has caused criticism by many environmentalists; however, the World Health Organization classifies it as a Level III, "slightly hazardous" pesticide. It is known to be harmful to aquatic creatures, and can cause eggshell thinning in various species of birds.
