Identification
Common Name Naled
Description Naled is an organophosphate insecticide registered since 1959 for use in the United States. Naled is used primarily to control adult mosquitoes but also is used on food and feed crops and in greenhouses. The mode of action of naled is as a nonsystemic contact and stomach poison. State and local authorities apply naled by truck-mounted or aircraft-mounted sprayers. Because of the very small quantities of pesticide applied, naled does not pose a moderate or serious health risk if applied according to the guidelines for use. One of the degradation products of naled is dichlorvos, another registered organophosphate. (S689)

Physical Properties
Appearance Colorless solid or straw-colored liquid with a slightly pungent odor. (S689)
Melting Point 27 C
Solubility 0.0015 mg/mL [USDA PESTICIDE PROP DATABASE]
Predicted LogP 2.6517798329999995
Toxicity Profile
Route of Exposure Oral (S689) ; inhalation (S689) ; dermal (S689)
Mechanism of Action Naled is a cholinesterase inhibitor. (S689)
Metabolism Naled can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion. It does not accumulate in body tissues, but repeated exposure may have a cumulative effect on cholinesterase levels. Naled is hydrolysed rapidly in the body to produce a number of metabolites, including dichlorvos, dichlorobromoacetaldehyde, dimethyl phosphate, and an amino acid conjugate of degraded naled. (S689)
Toxicity Values Not Available
Lethal Dose Not Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification) Not Available
Uses/Sources Major routes of exposure are by application from fog and mist sprayers. The use of application by aircraft increases the potential for exposure of humans and nontarget organisms to naled. Human exposure to naled during mixing, handling, application, and reentry operations can be minimized by use of approved respirators and other protective clothing. (S689)
Minimum Risk Level Not Available
Health Effects Naled primarily affects the nervous system through cholinesterase inhibition, by which there is a deactivation of cholinesterase, an enzyme required for proper nerve functioning. Lab studies have shown liver damage in rats. (S691)
Symptoms If inhaled, effects on the respiratory system and the eyes are the first to appear. (S689)
Treatment Not Available
