Terbufos

Active

Description

Terbufos is a clear, slightly brown-yellow liquid and an organophosphate used as a nematicide on corn, sugar beets, and grain sorghum. Terbufos is lethal against wireworms, seedcorn maggots, white grubs, corn rootworm larvae and more. Because of its extreme toxicity, terbufos is labeled with the signal word DANGER and can only be handled by certified applicators. After ingesting terbufos symptoms of acute poisoning can include nausea, abdominal cramps, vomiting, salivation, excessive sweating and diarrhea. If terbufos is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, the inhibition of cholinesterase may occur leading to chest tightness, wheezing, blurred vision, fatigue, headache, slurred speech, and confusion. If the level of terbufos is high enough, the respiratory muscles may become paralyzed resulting in death. Terbufos does not appear to be mutagenic or likely to cause any reproductive issues in humans. It not classified as a human carcinogen. Terbufos is extremely toxic to birds, mammals, and reptiles.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/pyrethrins-ziram/terbufos-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
