Answers
Answer:
A carbamate pesticide is C) Propoxur
Explanation:
Propoxur (Baygon) is a non-systemic carbamate insecticide with a quick knockdown time and a protracted residual impact that is effective against fleas, home pests, and forestry pests. It was first launched in 1959. Various domestic animals, Anopheles mosquitoes, ants, gypsy moths, and other agricultural pests are also controlled using it. Additionally, it has molluscicide properties. Catechol is used to make it.
Propoxur has been requested by a number of U.S. states to use against bedbug infestations, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been hesitant to permit indoor usage due to its possible harm to children after prolonged exposure.
Acetylcholinesterase is permanently deactivated by carbamate insecticides, which are used to kill insects.
impacts on the environment
In an alkaline solution, propoxur degrades quickly.
Many bird species are very poisonous to propoxur, however, the toxicity varies depending on the species. For fish and other aquatic creatures, it has a mild to minimal harmful effect. Honeybees are extremely poisonous to propoxur.
