Nitrofen
A white, crystalline, solid, combustible, chlorinated compound. Nitrofen was used as an herbicide, but is no longer used or manufactured in the United States. Exposure to nitrofen irritates the skin, eyes and respiratory tract and affects the blood and central nervous system. This substance is teratogenic and carcinogenic in animals and is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI Thesaurus)
