Endrin

Endrin is a insecticide that was used on cotton and other crops.

Chemical Formula: C12H8Cl6O1
Other names: 1,2,3,4,10,10-Hexachloro-6,7-epoxy-1,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-endo-1,4-endo-5,8-dimethano-naphthalene
Layman's explanation: Endrin is an organochlorine pesticide that was once used to kill insects on cotton, rice, and corn, and to control rodents in orchards. It is a stereoisomer of dieldrin and shares dieldrin's properties of being toxic to humans and wildlife and damaging to the environment.
