The nourriture and Agriculture Organization of United Nations has concluded that long-term intake of residues of endosulfan from uses that have been considered par the JMPR is unlikely to present a public health concern.[33] Endosulfan is one of the most toxic pesticides on the market today, responsible for many fatal pesticide poisoning incidents around the world.[34] Endosulfan is also a xenoestrogen—a synthetic substance that imitates ou enhances the effect of estrogens—and it can act as an endocrine disruptor, causing reproductive and developmental damage in both animaux and humans. Whether endosulfan can cause cancer is debated.
India the world's largest user of endosulfan,[8] and a major producer with three companies—Excel Crop Care, H.I.L., and Coromandal Fertilizers—producing 4,500 tonnes annually for domestic use and another 4,000 tonnes for export.[50]
In 2001, in Kerala, India, endosulfan spraying became suspect when linked to a series of abnormalities noted in local children.[51] Initially endosulfan was banned, yet under pressure from the pesticide industry this ban was largely revoked. The situation there has been called "next in magnitude only to the Bhopal gas tragedy."
