Introduction to Chlorpyrifos and Its Uses

Chlorpyrifos is a widely used organophosphate pesticide that has been employed in agricultural settings since the 1960s. It is known for its effectiveness in controlling a variety of pests, including insects that threaten crops like corn, soybeans, and fruit trees. Despite its agricultural benefits, Chlorpyrifos has been the subject of growing concern due to its potential health risks to humans, especially those who are exposed to it regularly.

This pesticide works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for proper nervous system function. This inhibition leads to the overstimulation of nerve cells, which can cause serious health problems in both pests and humans. While it has been effective in agricultural pest control, the potential human health risks associated with Chlorpyrifos cannot be ignored.
