Malathion

Malathion is an organophosphate insecticide and pesticide widely used in the agricultural and public health sectors. It is used to control a variety of insect pests, including mosquitoes, flies, and moths. It is also effective against a range of crop pests, such as aphids, thrips, and beetles. Malathion has low acute toxicity in humans, making it suitable for use in agricultural and public health applications. It has a relatively short half-life, which means it quickly breaks down in the environment and can have a minimal impact on non-target species.
