Asomate
Last updated: 19/08/2023
(Also known as: azomat; TDDA; arsenic dimethyldithiocarbamate; TTCA; arsinetriyl tris(dimethyldithiocarbamate))
Asomate is a largely obsolete organo-arsenic fungicide formerly used on a wide variety of crops. Little information is known regarding its environmental fate and behaviour nor its ecotoxicity. It is highly toxic to mammals if ingested.
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.
