'''Dimefox''', also known as '''TL-792''' or '''T-2002''', is a highly toxic [organophosphate](/source/organophosphate) [insecticide](/source/insecticide). In its pure form it is a colourless  liquid with a fishy odour.<ref name=IAI>{{Cite web |url=http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/iupac/236.htm |title=IUPAC FOOTPRINT Pesticides Properties Database |access-date=2011-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722134430/http://sitem.herts.ac.uk/aeru/iupac/236.htm |archive-date=2011-07-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Dimefox was first produced in 1940 by the group of [Gerhard Schrader](/source/Gerhard_Schrader) in Germany. It was historically used as a pesticide, but has been deemed obsolete or discontinued for use by the [World Health Organization](/source/World_Health_Organization). It is not guaranteed that all commercial use of this compound ceased, but in most countries{{Which|date=November 2022}} it is no longer registered for use as a pesticide.<ref name=WHO>the WHO recommended classification of pesticides by hazard and guidelines to classification 2009, [https://web.archive.org/web/20101214120923/http://www.who.int/ipcs/publications/pesticides_hazard_2009.pdf]</ref> It is considered an [extremely hazardous substance](/source/List_of_extremely_hazardous_substances) as defined by the United States [Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act](/source/Emergency_Planning_and_Community_Right-to-Know_Act).
