Abstract
The effect of isospin breaking pion s-wave rescattering is included in elastic $\mathrm{NN}$ scattering at low energies using an interaction obtained from effective field theory. Although this mechanism gave a large contribution to charge symmetry breaking in $n\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{p}d{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0},$ the effect is rather small in $\mathrm{pp}$ vs $\mathrm{nn}$ scattering parameters and in the ${}^{3}\mathrm{H}{\ensuremath{-}}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ binding energy difference. This smallness is caused by large cancellation of the up-down quark mass difference contribution and electromagnetic effects to the $\mathrm{np}$ mass difference.
