Fina P. Kaloyanova, Mostafa A. El Batawi
Dithiocarbamates enter the body mainly through the respiratory tract. They are metabolized to a number of toxic substances which are, to some extent, responsible for the intoxication, namely: carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, dimethylamine and methyl isothiocyanate, ethylene thiourea, etc.

Chemical/Physical. Decomposes in acids, releasing carbon disulfide. In oxygenated waters, mancozeb degraded to ethylene thiuram monosulfide, ethylene diisocyanate, ethylene thiourea, ethylenediamine, and sulfur (Worthing and Hance, 1991).

Only a few analyses13,14 have reported detections and concentrations of pesticide-specific urinary metabolites among nonfarmworker Latino immigrants. Specific pesticide urinary metabolites include several associated with OP insecticides, such as the chlorpyrifos metabolite 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCPY), the malathion metabolite malathion dicarboxylic acid (MDA), acephate (APE), and methamidaphos (METH); others associated with bis-dithiocarbamate fungicides, such as ethylene thiourea (ETU) and propylene (PTU); and others associated with the pyrethroid insecticides, such as 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3PBA) and cis,trans-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (DCCA).
