General Exposure Hazards

Carbamate nerve agents do not have good warning properties. They have no odor, and, other than causing miosis, aerosols do not irritate the eyes. Contact neither irritates the skin nor causes cutaneous injuries. 

Human toxicity data for the carbamate nerve agents has not been published or has not been established. 

These agents are rapidly detoxified or eliminated from the body and there is little or no cumulative toxicity. Some agents are refractory to treatment.
