Über Konstitution und toxische Wirkung von natürlichen und neuen synthetischen insektentötenden Stoffen

Properties and Actions of Bridged Diphenyl Acaricides

“…However, there are examples of toxicity to insects. Ovex, p-chlorophenyl pchlorobenzyl ether, and bis(p-chlorophenyl) sulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone, and ether have been shown to be active as stomach poisons to clothes moth larvae (29). The same toxicity relationships to Mexican bean beetle larvae and eggs and adults of the two-spotted spider mite have been demonstrated among a series of substituted bisphenoxymethanes and phenylbenzene sulfonates (22,30).…”

Abuse of Rachel Carson and Misuse of DDT Science in the Service of Environmental Deregulation

“…DDT was first prepared in 1874 but was of no utility until Paul Müller (Figure 1) discovered in 1939 that it killed insects (report published in 1944). [3] Theo ne-pot synthesis of DDT by condensation of chlorobenzene and chloral (trichloroacetaldehyde) ensured ap lentiful supply for delousing soldiers and prisoners as well as for combating insect-borne infectious disease during World WarI I. Following the war, millions of tons of DDT were spread across millions of hectares of agricultural land to kill pests,t hroughout residential communities to kill annoying summer bugs,a nd anywhere in the world the Anopholes mosquito made its home.M üller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1958 for "for his discovery of the high efficiencyo fD DT as ac ontact poison against several arthropods."…”
