Carbophenothion also known as Stauffer R 1303 as for the manufacturer, Stauffer Chemical,[3] is an organophosphorus chemical compound.[4] It was used as a pesticide for citrus fruits[5] under the name of Trithion.[6] Carbophenothion was used as an insecticide and acaricide.[1][7] Although not used anymore, it's still a restricted use pesticide in the United States.[6] The chemical is identified in the US as an extremely hazardous substance according to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.[8]

Toxicity

Carbophenothion affects the nervous system as an indirect cholinesterase inhibitor.[5] Symptoms of poisoning include headache, blurred vision, weakness, nausea, discomfort in the chest, abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, sweating and pinpoint pupils. It's highly toxic when eaten and almost as toxic when absorbed through the skin.[9]
