Abstract excerpt

N-Methylcarbamate esters are an important group of insecticides. They have lower acute toxicity to vertebrates than organophosphates, although their genotoxicity has not been adequately studied. Here we investigate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of N-methylcarbamate insecticides and their N-ni...
