Organochlorines DDT, an organochlorine The organochlorine<unk> s, like DDT, aldrin, and dieldrin, are extremely persistent and accumulate in fatty tissue. Through the process of bioaccumulation (lower amounts in the environment get magnified sequentially up the food chain), large amounts of organochlorines can accumulate in top species like humans. There is substantial evidence to suggest that DDT, and its metabolite DDE, act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with hormonal function of estrogen, testosterone, and other steroid hormones. Anticholinesterase compounds Malathion, an organophosphate anticholinesterase Cholinesterase-inhibiting<unk> s, also known as organophosphates, carbamates, and anticholinesterases, are most commonly reported in occupationally related<unk> s globally. Besides acute symptoms including cholinergic crisis, certain organophosphates have long been known to cause a delayed-onset toxicity to nerve cells, which is often irreversible. Several studies have shown persistent deficits in cognitive function in workers chronically exposed to<unk> s.
