Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide, increases production and productivity in agricultural areas, it is a broad spectrum insecticide most preferred in the control of pests and pathogens in homes and various indoor areas. Chlorpyrifos which can be used uncontrollably and frequently due to its ease of obtainment and cheapness, enters the body through exposure ways such as soil, air, food and water, and rapidly disperses and accumulates in various tissues and organs, especially in adipose tissue. Chlorpyrifos is a cause of toxicity in many non-target organisms, including humans. The rate and effectiveness of symptoms in toxicity caused by organophosphates depend on how long and in which way the organophosphate is exposed, the chemical structure of the organophosphate, as well as the rate of destruction and metabolic activation. The mechanism of action of chlorpyrifos, which includes neurotoxicity due to irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at cholinergic synapses, causes undesirable effects on the nervous system. The longer half-lives compared to chlorpyrifos cause serious health complications as it prolongs the excretion process from the body. Although chlorpyrifos toxicity is associated with neurological dysfunctions, endocrine system diseases and cardiovascular diseases. It can also induce hematological malignancies, genotoxicity, histopathological, developmental and behavioral abnormalities, and oxidative stress. In addition, eye irritation and dermatological defects may occur due to exposure. This review has been prepared by taking into account the studies related to chlorpyrifos and includes information on the structure of chlorpyrifos the ways of exposure to chlorpyrifos the formation and detection mechanisms of the toxic effects of chlorpyrifos
