2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 09/01/2012 - "Great attention is devoted to persistent organic pollutant (POP), among which the pesticide dicofol is critical related to food safety and might raise the risk of cancer incidence. " 01/01/1991 - "Kepone and dicofol stimulated PKC activity 26% and 13%, respectively, as compared with the PKC activity (100%) stimulated by the tumor-promoting phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). "
3.	Body Weight (Weight, Body) 01/01/1999 - "However, there was a significant decrease in number of cycles, duration of proestrus and diestrus, and increase in the duration of the estrus phase after dicofol treatment at 30, 40 and 50 mg. Body weight and organ weight of liver, kidney, adrenal, ovary, uterus thyroid and thymus were not significantly changed in all the dicofol treated rats. " 01/01/2001 - "In all dicofol-treated rats, no significant changes were found in body weight or organ, except for a significant decrease in the weight of the uterus in groups receiving either 700 mg dicofol or estradiol-17beta. " 01/01/1999 - "Dicofol, an organochlorine pesticide, was administered orally at doses of 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/kg body weight to normal virgin rats for 30 days. "
4.	Allergic Contact Dermatitis 01/01/1986 - "[Toxico-allergic contact dermatitis from exposure to the pesticide kelthane]."
5.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 06/01/2018 - "Birds which died due to kite string injuries in Ahmedabad (15) and accidents in Coimbatore (5) were tested for residues of chlorinated pesticides, namely hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), endosulfan, heptachlor, dicofol, dieldrin and cholipyrifos.
