Carbosulfan is an organic compound adherent to the carbamate class.

Its solubility in water is low but it is miscible with xylene, hexane, chloroform, dichloromethane, methanol and acetone.

Carbosulfan is only slightly absorbed through skin (LD50 >2000 mg/kg for rabbits).

The mechanism of toxicity is based on reversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (as for carbamates generally).

[3] Carbosulfan has very low maximum residue limits for use in the EU and UK examples of this can be seen in apples and oranges, where it is 0.05 mg/kg.
