(Not known by any other names)
Butocarboxim is a carbamate insecticide. It is highly soluble in water, highly volile and is not expected to be persistent in soil systems depending upon local conditions. Howver, it may be persisten in waterbodies. Butocarboxin is highly toxic to birds and moderately toxic to most aquatic life. It is moderately toxic to mammals if ingested and is an irritant.
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.
