Toxicities for these compounds vary over a wide range. Mercury based pesticides may produce eye and/or skin irritation. Some mercury compounds are readily absorbed across the skin and can produce systemic effects.

Wheat bunt can decimate a crop. Some farmers call this fungus "stinking smut" for its ability to reduce healthy grain to a fishy-smelling black powder. The plague can persist in contaminated seed and may contaminate soil to ruin the next year s harvest. Farmers watched the fungus destroy crops for hundreds of years with no relief until mercury-based pesticides provided a partially effective treatment. Then in the middle of the last century the synthetic chemical industry produced a new and highly effective solution hexachlorobenzene (HCB CAS number 118-74-1) [82,83,84]. [Pg.166]
