Dioxacarb (Ref: C8353)
Last updated: 16/01/2023
(Also known as: I-1519; OMS 1102)
Dioxacarb is an obsolete carbamate insecticide. It is highly soluble in water and has a low volatility. It is not persistent in soils and, based on its physico-chemical properties, is not expected to leach to groundwater. Ecotoxicological data is scarce but dioxacarb is moderately toxic to birds and fish. It has a high mammalian oral toxicity and is an acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor.
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
