Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Chlordecone or Kepone is a polycyclic chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide that produces hyperexcitability, tremor, and other signs of nervous system toxicity."2.36Chlordecone neurotoxicity: a brief overview. ( Mactutus, CF; Tilson, HA, 1982)
"Chlordecone is an organochlorine insecticide which intoxicated a number of workers in 1975 because of excessive exposure in the industrial plant."1.26Neurological manifestations in humans exposed to chlordecone and follow-up results. ( Taylor, JR, 1982)
