Exposure to coumaphos2

• Cumulative exposure to coumaphos was not associated with cancer risk overall or with any major cancer site including prostate. (nih.gov)
• General population exposure to coumaphos is unlikely, though exposure through dietary meat and milk intake is possible. (cdc.gov)

Organophosphates3

• Organophosphates, such as coumaphos , causes epileptic activity in bees' brains before it shuts down their learning abilities. (aromahealthtexas.com)
• This study aimed to analyze the resistance status of 2 populations of R. microplus from northeastern Mexico to the organochlorine (OC) lindane, organophosphates (OP) coumaphos, chlorfenvinphos, diazinon, and chlorpyrifos, and the synthetic pyrethroids (SPs) flumethrin, deltamethrin, and cypermethrin. (bvsalud.org)
• The susceptibility to the organophosphates such as coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos of R. microplus from northeastern Mexico should be noted. (bvsalud.org)

Insecticides2

• At high doses, coumaphos and other organophosphorus insecticides share a mechanism of toxicity:inhibition of the activity of acetylcholinesterase enzymes in the nervous system, resulting in excess acetylcholine at nerve terminals, and producing acute symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, cholinergic effects, weakness, paralysis, and seizures. (cdc.gov)
• She also noted that study results in laboratory animals found that organophosphate insecticides, such as coumaphos and parathion, may contribute to increased airway reactivity. (nih.gov)

Chlorfenvinphos2

• Substances with non-approved uses such as amitraz, chlorfenvinphos and coumaphos were detected. (foodsafetynews.com)
• meanwhile, they were susceptible to coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos. (bvsalud.org)

Chlorferon1

• Urine was collected for measurement of a possible urinary biomarker of coumaphos, 3-chloro-4-methyl coumarin (chlorferon), at the same times. (cdc.gov)

Insecticide5

• Coumaphos is an organophosphate livestock insecticide. (nih.gov)
• First registered in 1958, coumaphos is an organophosphorus insecticide that is used to control ticks, lice, mites, and arthropod pests on beef cattle, dairy cows, swine, and certain other farm animals. (cdc.gov)
• Once absorbed, phosphorothioates such as coumaphos are metabolically activated to the "oxon" form which has greater toxicity than the parent insecticide. (cdc.gov)
• Coumaphos is considered to be an organophosphorus insecticide of moderate-to-high acute toxicity in animal studies. (cdc.gov)
• except for coumaphos at 225.3 ppb, levels were generally lower in organically managed hives and the highest concentration of insecticide detected in wax from conventionally managed hives was fluvalinate at 251.5 ppb. (lupinepublishers.com)

Livestock1

• Participants reported mixing coumaphos 8.5 days per month and spraying or dipping livestock 11 days per month, on average. (cdc.gov)

Laboratory1

• Blood was collected by venipuncture for laboratory cholinesterase measurements using the Ellman method, and by fingerstick for cholinesterase measurements by field test kit at the start of the workday (prior to use of coumaphos) and again at the end of the workday. (cdc.gov)

Toxic1

• Coumaphos is highly toxic to birds and aquatic invertebrates and moderately toxic to fish. (cdc.gov)

Levels3

• Human health effects from coumaphos at low environmental doses or at biomonitored levels from low environmental exposures are unknown. (cdc.gov)
• Biomonitoring studies of 3-chloro-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one/ol provide physicians and public health officials with reference values so that they can determine whether people have been exposed to higher levels of coumaphos than are found in the general population. (cdc.gov)
• Three reported being removed from working with coumaphos (one time each) in the past year due to low cholinesterase levels. (cdc.gov)

Generally1

• Coumaphos is generally immobile in soils and can persist for up to a year in some types of soils. (cdc.gov)

Study3

• Previous research in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort observed a positive association between coumaphos and prostate cancer in men with a family history of prostate cancer. (nih.gov)
• This study was performed to determine the association between coumaphos and other major cancer sites and to explore the consistency of the association with prostate cancer early (1993-1999) and later (2000-2005) in AHS follow-up. (nih.gov)
• An overview of Genetic Toxicology Mammalian Cell Mutagenicity study conclusions related to Coumaphos (56-72-4). (nih.gov)

Animal1

• Coumaphos may enter the environment from spillage of animal dipping and spraying solutions (U.S.EPA, 2000). (cdc.gov)
