- most poisonous/notable (most common insecticide= involves great number of poisoning and deaths)	Organophosphates
(effective in controlling lepidopteran species and crops- moth, butterfly species, and EMERALD ASH BORER= creates holes in the trees) INSECTICIDES	Emamectin benzoate
(In humans: it is used to treat infection of intestinal threadworms, ONCHOCERCIASIS or LIVER BLINDNESS, LYMPHATIC FILARIASIS, and this is not used to treat covid) (used in veterinary, anthelminthic and antiparasitic for animals) INSECTICIDES	Ivermectin

Triazines first manifestation chronic toxicity herbicides	decrease body weight gain
Signs and symptoms: IMPAIRED RESPIRATION, NEUROLOGIC DISTURBANCE and cardiovascular effects GI effects HERBICIDE	Phosphonomethyl amino acids derivatives: glufosinate, glyphosate
Potent eye irritant but only mild irritants therefore they can cause BLINDNESS FUNGICIDES	Captan and Folpet
Chronic exposures causes HYPERTROPHY (increase in the size of skeletal muscle) and HYPERPLASIA (enlargement of particular organ or tissue) (FUNGICIDE)	(Dithiocarbamates ) - Maneb, ziram, zoned
