In the analysis that used inverse probability of censoring weights, the point estimates were very similar to the main analysis for all the pesticides evaluated;
toxaphene, aluminum phosphide, and atrazine were not stratified by the median age in this analysis in contrast with the main analysis although the point estimates were consistent (Table S8).
Some of these pollutants include adrin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PBCs), chlordane, dieldrin, polychlorinated dibenzofurans,
toxaphene [2].
Smith (1952) reported that during the fifties, several authors reported some new insecticides, at that time, sprays of lindane, chlordane,
toxaphene, dieldrin, and aldrin provided some control of the fowl tick.
Toxaphene was the most prominent OCP in moose liver with concentrations ranging from 0.28-2.17 ng/g ww in Dehcho and 0.17-1.83 ng/g ww in South Slave (Table 1); mean concentrations were not significantly different between the regions (Table S10A).
Known toxic chemicals in New York waters--including mercury, PCBs (5), mirex/photomirex, DDTs (6), chlordane, dioxin, lead,
toxaphene, hexachlorobenzene, arsenic, and PAHs (7)--reach waters through sewer system outfalls, industrial discharges, agricultural runoff, and other point and nonpoint sources (EPA Region 2 in conjunction with DEC Region 9, 2012).
The pesticides endosulfan,
toxaphene, and dieldrin have estrogenic effects on human estrogen sensitive cells.

Risk of leukemia was associated with exposure to the pesticides mancozeb (OR = 2.35; 95% I = 1.12-4.95) and
toxaphene (OR = 2.20; 95% CI = 1.04-4.65) but not 2,4-D (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 0.41-2.61).
Most end user sales of the family were final in 1973 except
toxaphene a common premix with DDT which was sold in the U.S.
