Industrial uses
Pesticides

Historical agricultural fungicides, industrial water-treatment systems, antimicrobial formulations, and contaminated industrial or agricultural sites

Description:

Nabam is a dithiocarbamate compound historically used as a fungicide and antimicrobial agent. It has been used in agricultural disease control and industrial applications, including water-treatment systems. Exposure may occur through occupational handling or environmental contamination associated with historical use.

HOW MILLION MARKER SCORES CHEMICALS

Million Marker's Ingredient Hazard Scoring uses multiple chemical databases and a science-backed scoring system to compute hazard scores for thousands of chemicals found in consumer products and listed on ingredient labels.

We identified key chemicals based on a database compiling dozens of authoritative sources, screening tools, and QSAR models.

Hazard scores within 11 different health categories (carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, reproductive toxicants, developmental toxicants, genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, organ system toxicity, immunotoxicity, respiratory toxicity, skin/eye/respiratory irritants, and ecotoxicity).

They are weighted based on several factors, including strength of evidence for adverse impacts in humans, severity, and potential contamination.
