• Description: 1-Chloro-2,2-bis(4'-chlorophenyl)ethane is an organochlorine pesticide known for its agricultural applications. It is a synthetic product derived from chlorinated hydrocarbons. It functions primarily through its mode of action as an insecticide by interfering with the nervous system of insects. It disrupts normal nerve function by causing prolonged opening of sodium channels in nerve cells, leading to hyperexcitation and eventual paralysis of the target pests.
