  3. Profenofos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profenofos

    Differences in chemical structure that distinguish these two compounds from more common organophosphate pesticides - namely, the presence of the S-alkyl group on the phosphorus atom where most OP compounds possess a methoxy or ethoxy group - underlie differences in their behavior as acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitors compared to the rest of ...

  8. Terbufos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terbufos

    Organophosphate poisoning is not common in the developed world. Most cases of terbufos poisoning occur in the developing world, where protection against pesticides is scarce, but compounds such as terbufos are widespread, uncontrolled by a government and readily available for farmers. [15]

  9. Insecticide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insecticide

    Organophosphate insecticides and chemical warfare nerve agents (such as sarin, tabun, soman, and VX) have the same mechanism of action. Organophosphates have a cumulative toxic effect to wildlife, so multiple exposures to the chemicals amplifies the toxicity. [19] In the US, organophosphate use declined with the rise of substitutes.
