Abstract
Toxicity studies have been carried out with a number of monomethylcarbamates, most of which reached an advanced stage in the World Health Organization insecticide evaluation programme. Both quantitative and qualitative distinctions have been found between the carbamates studied, and certain common characteristics that distinguish them in several important aspects from organophosphorus insecticides have been demonstrated.
