  • Other Comments:

    This article is a review of endosulfan toxicity; therefore, it is not new research. There are a few grammatical and speling errors that should be addressed. The biggest problem I have is the anonymous sourcing. This is unacceptable; the author should find a new source that buttresses this information or remove it.

    There are mistakes in the references. 

    The aim of the review is not clear. 

    The reporting of information from the already published papers are not well organized. 

    Providing entry and metabolism of endosulphan would have been useful prior to listing the toxicity effects. 

    Tabulation of dose / route / durtion -wise variation of toxicity effects could have been useful for the reader. 

    Logic behind listing only some selective toxicity is not clear. An objective-oriented planning of the report-listing is required.
