Toxicology of Aldicarb

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 105))

Abstract

Aldicarb (2-methyl-2[methylthio]propionaldehyde 0-[methyl carbamoyl]-oxime; TEMIK®, Rhone-Poilenc’s registered trademark) effectively controls a wide variety of insects, mites, and nematodes and is used worldwide on more than 40 economically important crops. Aldicarb is a potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and is commercially available only in granular formulations containing 5% to 10% active ingredient. As formulated, the potential hazard of aldicarb to human health and to the environment is sinificantly reduced.
