The sulphone, desmethylthioether and mercapturic acid conjugate minor metabolites were observed at lower levels. |
Dominant lethal mutations were not induced by aldicarb or aldicarb sulphone in studies in which treated male rats were mated with unexposed females. |
Aldicarb and its by-products, aldicarb sulphoxide and aldicarb sulphone, inhibit acetyl-cholinesterase in the nervous system. |
This guideline is considered to be applicable to the total of aldicarb and its toxic metabolites, aldicarb sulphoxide and aldicarb sulphone. |
The chloroform layer was evaporated and the product of this reaction was identified as diphenyl sulphone. |
Aldicarb is rapidly oxidized to aldicarb sulphoxide, which is further metabolized more slowly by oxidation and hydrolysis to aldicarb sulphone. |
