Excerpts from the Introduction
Parathion is widely used as an agricultural insecticide. It
has been used extensively by farmers on major crops such as wheat, fruits,
vegetables, nuts, citrus fruits, alfalfa, corn, soyabean and other field
crops. It is used to prevent the larvae of the pests from growing up. It even
causes the eggs of the pests to die out when comes in contact with it.
Besides various portals of entry as will
be described below there are high chances for some amount of the poison to get
into the system through these foodstuffs we consume and cause symptoms of its
effect.

diethyl phosphorothionchloridate with sodium p-nitrophenate.
