A sulfurous acid ester, endosulvan is described by its manufacturers, the Hochst chemical works just west of Frankfurt, as harmless to warm-blooded animals, including humans, even though one microgram (less than one three-millionth of an ounce) in a quart of water is enough to kill coldblooded fish...
