Resumen The primary site of action of endrin is the central nervous system; exposure of humans to a toxic dose may lead to excitability and convulsions and death may follow within 2-12 hours if appropriate treatment is not administered immediately. Cases of acute non-fatal intoxication due to accidental over-exposure have been observed in workers in an endrin manufacturing plant. Endrin does not accumulate in the human body to any significant degree and no long-term adverse effects were observed during a study of 232 occupationally exposed workers. Detailed summaries in French and Spanish.
