This report presents a review of literature on organochlorine insecticide of the cyclodiene type endosulfan, which has been employed extensively for agricultural, domestic and public health purposes. It summarizes information on nomenclature and chemistry, metabolism and toxicity in mammals, birds, fishes and insects, degradation and metabolism in plants along with brief reference to the degradation in water and light. Unfortunately, because of lack of knowledge, a precise statement, in regard to the ecological implications and the quantitites of endosulfan now being used, is not possible at this time.
本报告对环二烯类有机氯杀虫剂硫丹的文献进行了综述，硫丹已广泛用于农业、家庭和公共卫生目的。它总结了有关硫丹的命名和化学、在哺乳动物、鸟类、鱼类和昆虫中的代谢与毒性、在植物中的降解和代谢等方面的信息，同时简要提及了其在水和光照下的降解情况。遗憾的是，由于知识有限，目前无法就硫丹的生态影响和当前使用量作出精确说明。
