Phorate
Active
Description
Phorate is an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide that is used to control sucking and chewing insects, leafhoppers, leafminers, mites, nematodes, and rootworms. It is applied to pine forests, field crops that include corn, cotton, coffee, and ornamental, herbaceous plants, and bulbs. Phorate is among the most poisonous insecticides in use and is classified as a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) that can only be applied by certified applicators. Symptoms of toxicity after acute oral exposure include blurred vision, headache, an inability to concentrate, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat and respiration rates, tremors, excessive sweating, confusion, and convulsions. Extremely high doses of phorate can lead to death resulting from respiratory arrest or lung constrictions. Like other organophosphate insecticides, phorate is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Cholinesterase is an essential enzyme for nervous system function. Chronic exposure to phorate has resulted in slow thinking, memory defects, irritability, delayed reaction time, and anxiety. There is no evidence that phorate causes gene mutations or carcinogenicity. It is highly toxic to birds, freshwater fish, and aquatic invertebrates.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/metiram-propoxur/phorate-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
