Overview

Methiocarb is a carbamate pesticide known for its use as an insecticide, bird repellent, acaricide, and molluscicide. It has been in use since the 1960s and is recognized for its contact and stomach action on pests. Methiocarb acts by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, leading to elevated acetylcholine levels, which disrupts normal nerve function in pests.

Uses

Methiocarb is utilized in various applications including:

Insecticide for controlling thrips and other insects.
Bird repellent to protect crops.
Acaricide for mite control.
Molluscicide for snail and slug control.

Regulatory

Due to its toxicity, methiocarb's approval as a plant protection product has been withdrawn by the EU effective 2020. Regulatory limits and guidelines are in place to ensure safe usage and residue levels in food and the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring methiocarb residues is crucial for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Methiocarb is a known skin irritant and neurotoxin. It can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled as an aerosol, leading to potential health risks. It has been found to be an endocrine disruptor, acting as an estrogen, antiandrogen, and aromatase inhibitor.

Environmental Impact

Methiocarb poses environmental risks due to its persistence and toxicity. It is metabolized in plants, soil, and water, with various degradation products. Its half-life in soil and water varies, and it can impact non-target species including birds and aquatic organisms.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and usage guidelines are essential to minimize exposure risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safety protocols are recommended when working with methiocarb.
