Harold F. Gray

This is a useful and concise statement of the toxicity of certain pesticides to man, in relation to their manufacture and application. The materials considered in some detail are DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, chlordan, BHC and gamma BHC, toxaphene, DDD (TDE) and methoxychlor. A section is devoted to the organo-phosphorus esters and amides such as TEPP and parathion, but there is little mention of EPN, which is proving to be valuable where DDT resistance has been encountered.
