Chlorpyrifos is an agricultural pesticide that is toxic to many organisms. It is acutely toxic to birds, bees, mammals, and marine organisms. Approximately 140,000 tons of chlorpyrifos are used globally each year, with about 1/3 used for pesticides. Chlorpyrifos can persist in soil for 60-120 days or over 1 year depending on soil conditions.
