...It is a colorless, odorless oily substance that has a very strong insecticidal effect, especially effective against rice pests such as rice stem borers, fruit moths, planthoppers, leafhoppers, stink bugs, and aphids. It was imported to Japan by Bayer in 1951 under the brand name Folidol and used in large quantities, but it had a very high acute toxicity to humans and animals ( LD50 = 6mg/kg (mouse, oral)). Furthermore, since subsequent research and development led to the development of a series of low-toxicity organophosphate esters, its production in Japan was discontinued in 1969 and its use was banned in 1971. It has been proven that parathion's insecticidal effect is caused by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, thereby disrupting normal impulse transmission in the nervous system. ... *Some of the terminology that mentions "Folidol" is listed below.
