P2950 Profile


Carbamate Pesticides Profile

This profile can be used for food, vegetation, soil or water samples. The carbamates are insecticides, but, generally have shorter persistence in the environment than organophosphate insecticides. They are grouped separately here because the analytical methodology is very different from that used to determine other pesticides. For that reason they are not included in the Columbia Pesticide Profile. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with either post-column derivatization and fluorescence detection, or, mass spectroscopy detection is used to determine the carbamates. The list below also includes some metabolites for several of the compounds.


Aldicarb (Temik) Methiocarb (Mesurol)
Aldicarb Sulfone Methiocarb Sulfone
Aldicarb Sulfoxide Methiocarb Sulfoxide
Bendiocarb (Dycarb) Methomyl (Lannate)
Carbaryl (Sevin) Mexacarbate (Zectran)
Carbofuran (Furadan) 1-Naphthol (carbaryl metabolite)
Carbofuran, 3-keto Oxamyl (Vydate)
Carbofuran, 3-OH Promecarb
Fenobucarb Propoxur (Baygon)
Isoprocarb Thiodicarb
