What Does OCP Stand For?
OCP stands for Organochlorine Pesticide
OCP, or Organochlorine Pesticide, refers to a class of synthetic chemicals widely used in agriculture for pest control. These compounds are characterized by their chlorine content and are known for their effectiveness against a variety of pests. However, OCPs are also associated with significant environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in the environment, potential bioaccumulation in the food chain, and links to adverse health effects in humans and wildlife. Regulatory measures have been implemented in many countries to limit their use and mitigate associated risks.
