artificial respiration. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION
Note to Physician:
This product is highly toxic if inhaled, and a moderately toxic if
swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Carbosulfan is reversible
cholinesterase inhibitor. Atropine sulfate is antidotal. Support
respiration as needed with removal of secretions, maintenance of a
patent airway and, if necessary, artificial ventilation. If cyanosis is
absent: Adults 鈥? start treatment by giving 2 mg atropine
intravenously or intramusculary, if necessary, and reeat with 0.4 鈥?
2.0 mg atropine at 15 minute intervals until atropinization occurs
(tachycardia, flushed skin, dry mouth, mydrasis); Children under 12
initial dose = 0.05 mg/kg body weight and repeat dose = 0.02 鈥?
0.05 mg/kg body weight. Use of oximes such as 2-PAM is
controversial. Observe patient to insure that these symptoms do
not recur as atropinization wears off. If in eyes, instill one drop of
homatropine. Contains aromatic hydrocarbons that may produce a
severe pneumonities if aspirated during vomiting. Consideration
should be given to gastric lavage with an endotracheal tube in
place. Treatment is otherwise controlled removal of exposure
followed by symptomatic and supportive care.

Acute Oral LD50 (rat) 250, mg/kg (Male rats)
Acute Inhalation LC50 (4 h rat) 1.53, mg/l air (Male rats)
Eye Irritation (rabbit) Slight eye irritation
Dermal Irritation (rabbit) Moderate skin irritation
Sensitization:
Carbosulfan produces skin sensitization (allergic reaction) in
laboratory animals and may produce similar effects in humans.
Acute Effects from Overexposure:
This product is highly toxic if inhaled, and a moderately toxic if
swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Carbosulfan is reversible
cholinesterase inhibiting pesticide which elicites symptoms in
humans typical o cholinseterase inhibitions including headaches,
light-headedness, weakness, abdominal cramps, nausea,
excessive salivation, perspiration, blurred vision, more severe signs
of cholinesterase inhibition include tearing, in-point pupils,

excessive respiratory secretions, cyanosis, convulsions,
generalized tremor and coma. Excessive cholinesterase inhibition
may result in death. With dermal exposure to this product,
conditions of increased temperature and humidity facilitate skin
absorption and, therefore, promote increased toxicity. Inhalation of
aromatic hydrocarbon vapors may cause dizziness, disturbances in
vision, drowsiness, respiratory irritation, and eye, skin and mucous
membrane irritation. Vomiting after ingestion of this product may
cause aspiration of aromatic hydrocarbons into the lungs which
may result in fatal pulmonary edema.
Chronic Effects from Overexposure:
No data available for the formulation. In studies with laboratory
animals, carbosulfan did not cause reproductive toxicity,
teratogenicity,or carcinogenicity. Chronic exposure to carbosulfan
to animals has caused decreased cholinesterase activity
(erythrocyte, plasma, and/or brain). An overall absence of
genotoxicity has been demonstrated in mutagenicity testing with
carbosulfan. Chronic exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons may
cause headches, dizziness, loss of sensations or feelings (such as
numbness), and liver and kidney damage. Inhalation of xylene
vapors at high doses has also resuted in an increased incidence of
malformations and decreases in fetal weight in laboratry animals.
Damage from xylene may be potentiated by alcohol. Under the
conditions of 2-year inhalation studies, conducted by the National
Toxicology Program (NTP), there was clear evidence of
carcinogenic activity in female rats based on increased incidence of
renal tubule neoplasms. The incidences of testicular adenoma
were also increased. There was some evidence of carcinogenic
activity in female rats based on increased incidences of renal
tubule adenomas. There was some evidence of carcinogenic
activity in male mice based on increased incidence of alveolar /
bronchiolar neoplasm. There was some evidence of carcinogenic
activity in female mice based on increased incidences of
hepatocellular neoplasms. Studies conducted by the international
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) showed that there is
inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of
ethylbezene and that there is sufficient evidence in experimental
animals, therefore the overall evaluation shows that ethylbenzene
is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Grou 2B)

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Unless otherwise indicated, the data presented below are for the
active ingredient.
Environmental Data:
Carbosulfan is rapidly degraded in neutral soil (half-life <5 day) with
the degradation rate increasing as pH decreases. A major
breakdown product is carbofuran, which degrades more slowly
(half-life approx. 50 days).
Carbosulfan is hydrolytically unstable in acid, with stability
increasing with increasing pH. The bioconcentration potential of
carbosulfan is low with Log Pow of 3.3 and a measured BCF in
fish of 990. carbosulfan and its major breakdown product are
unlikely to leach into groundwater.
Ecotoxicological Information:
With LC50 values between 7.6 and 56 碌g/L to aquatic arthropods
and fish in the laboratory, this product is considered highly toxic.
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the aquatic algae.
Carbosulfan is also considered highly toxic to water fowl (Oral LD50
= 10 mg/kg), and only slightly less toxic to upland game birds (Oral
LD50 = 20 to 82 mg/kg). carbosulfan is an easily metabolized and
reverible cholinesterase inhibitor. Recovery from symptoms of
sublethel exposure occurs quickly.
