Environmental Fate of Carbaryl
نویسنده
چکیده
The document reviews the environmental fate and environmental effect of carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methyl carbamate). Carbaryl is one of the most frequently used carbamate insecticides and widely used for the control of a variety of pests on fruit, vegetables, forage, cotton and many other crops, as well as on poultry, livestock and pets (Mathew et al., 1995). It is available as wettable powders, pellets, granules, dusts, suspensions and even solutions (U.S. EPA, 1988).

Enhancement of goldfish virus-2 in vitro replication by the pesticides carbaryl and toxaphene.
Goldfish virus-2 replication was enhanced in vitro by pretreatment of CAR cells with subcytotoxic concentrations of carbaryl and toxaphene. This phenomenon was time and temperature dependent. Shortening of pretreatment with carbaryl eliminated enhancement, which was observed for toxaphene only with substantially increased concentrations. Decreasing the temperature of pretreatment (4 degrees C) ...
متن کاملCorrelation of environmental carbaryl measurements with serum and urinary 1-naphthol measurements in a farmer applicator and his family.
In exposure or risk assessments, both environmental and biological measurements are often used. Environmental measurements are an excellent means for evaluating regulatory compliance, but the models used to estimate body burden from these measurements are complex. Unless all possible routes of exposure (i.e., inhalation, dermal absorption, ingestion) are evaluated, exposure to a toxicant can be...
متن کاملCholinergic and behavioral neurotoxicity of carbaryl and cadmium to larval rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
Pesticides and heavy metals are common environmental contaminants that can cause neurotoxicity to aquatic organisms, impairing reproduction and survival. Neurotoxic effects of cadmium and carbaryl exposures were estimated in larval rainbow trout (RBT; Oncorhynchus mykiss) using changes in physiological endpoints and correlations with behavioral responses. Following exposures, RBT were videotape...
متن کاملSorption of polar and nonpolar aromatic compounds to four surface soils of eastern China.
Improved predictions on the fate of organic pollutants in surface environments require a better understanding of the underlying sorption mechanisms that control their uptake by soils. In this study, we monitored sorption of nine aromatic compounds with varying physicochemical properties (hydrophobicity, electron-donor/acceptor ability and polarity), including two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon...
