Question

Which of the following is an example of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide?

A.

Oxamyl

B.

Fenthion

C.

Toxaphene

D.

Allethrin

Correct option is C


Toxaphene is a well-known example of a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide. Chlorinated hydrocarbons are a class of synthetic organic compounds containing chlorine. These insecticides, including toxaphene, were widely used in the past for agricultural and pest control purposes due to their effectiveness. However, many chlorinated hydrocarbons, including toxaphene, have been banned or restricted in many countries because of their persistence in the environment and potential for bioaccumulation and toxicity to wildlife and humans.
