Metabolites <strong>and</strong> Degradates.<br />

The major metabolite of carbaryl degradation by both abiotic <strong>and</strong> microbially mediated<br />

processes is 1-naphthol. This degradate represented up to 67% of the applied carbaryl in<br />

degradation studies. It is also formed in the environment by degradation of naphthalene<br />

<strong>and</strong> other polyaromatic hydrocarbon compounds. EPA reports that only limited<br />

information on the environmental transport <strong>and</strong> fate of 1-naphthol is available <strong>and</strong><br />

indicates this compound is less persistent <strong>and</strong> less mobile than the parent carbaryl (EPA<br />

2003).<br />

<strong>Carbofuran</strong><br />

<strong>Carbofuran</strong> is a NMC systemic pesticide first registered in the U.S. in 1969. The BE for<br />

carbofuran indicates it is registered as a restricted use broad spectrum insecticide,<br />

nematicide, <strong>and</strong> miticide for use on a wide variety of agricultural <strong>and</strong> non-agricultural<br />

crops (EPA 2004). <strong>Carbofuran</strong> is classified as a restricted use pesticide <strong>and</strong> is formulated<br />

into flowable, wettable powder, <strong>and</strong> granular forms. Through an agreement between<br />

EPA <strong>and</strong> the technical registrant in 1991, granular carbofuran has been limited to the sale
