Endrin is an organochloride that was primarily used as an insecticide as well as a rodenticide. It is a colourless odorless solid although commercial samples are often off-white. Endrin was also sold as an emulsifiable solution known commercially as Shell Endrix. The compound endrin became infamous as a persistent organic pollutant and for this reason it is banned in many countries.
