Layman's explanation:
Chlorinated pesticides containing trans-chlordane were used for insect control in the United States between 1948 to 1988. It was mainly used for farm, lawn, and home pest control. Trans-chlordane is found in riverbeds, aquatic life, and mammalian life due to its release into the environment during its production, use and disposal. Trans-chlordane resides in soil for long periods of time and is still found in food supplies due to farmland treatment during the 1960s and 70s. It is a toxic pollutant that effects the nervous system, digestive system, and liver. It is found in most humans in small amounts, and if taken in large amounts by mouth, can cause convulsions and death.
