Chemical Structure

Structure retrieved from inchem.org

Pharmacology and Metabolism

Animals exposed to ethniofencarb excrete most of the substance, with little to no trace of ethiofencarb remaining in their tissues in the long term (ToxNet).

Health Effects

Exposure to ethiofencarb can result in muscles weakness, dizziness, sweating, malaise, headache, salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, blurred vision, slurred speech, and muscle twitching. In more severe cases, exposure can result in seizures, coma, and hypertension (Pesticide Database - Ethiofencarb).

Precautions

Employees who have exposure to ethiofencarb should have yearly medical exams. However, exposure in the US is extremely rare, as ethiofencarb is no longer produced or used in the US (ToxNet).

Regulation

The World Health Organization lists ethiofencarb as 'highly hazardous' (Pesticide Database - Ethiofencarb).

The European Union's Nordic Council of Ministers lists ethiofencarb as 'dangerous for the environment' (Scorecard.org).
