Answer 2

Answer:

• Up until the 1990s, Aldrin, an organochlorine insecticide, was widely used but is now prohibited in the majority of nations.
• Aldrin is a pesticide that belongs to the so-called "classic organochlorines" (COC) class.
• During and during the Second World War, COCs had a very rapid increase in popularity.
• DDT is one more notable example of a COC. Most organochlorines were outlawed because studies revealed that they might be exceedingly hazardous to ecosystems through bioaccumulation.
• It is an inert solid. It was widely used as a pesticide to treat soil and seed prior to the ban.
• As persistent organic pollutants, Aldrin and related "cyclodiene" pesticides—pesticides made from hexachlorocyclopentadiene—became well-known.
