Abstract
A general review of data on thiocarbamate pesticides, including brief evaluations of their impact on man, animals, plants, and the environment. Intended to serve as an introduction to this group of pesticides, the review concentrates on data available for the compounds that are most used and best known. A summary of basic properties and analytical procedures is followed by a review of data on mechanisms of environmental transport, distribution, and biotransformation, suggesting that most of these compounds are readily degraded. Other sections describe the main metabolic pathways in mammals and plants and summarize toxicity data indicating that the acute oral and dermal toxicities of these compound are generally low. The review concludes with a tabulation of physical and chemical data for 11 thiocarbamates, followed by a summary of recommended classification by hazard for eight commonly used compoundsCitation
