Triapenthenol (Ref: NTN 811)	Last updated: 12/09/2023
(Also known as: triazethanol; triazethan)

SUMMARY

Triapenthenol is a herbicide. It is highly soluble in water. Little is known regarding its environmental fate but it is considered to be persistent in soils. It is not highly toxic to mammals. It shows a high level of toxicity to birds. There is little information on its toxicity to biodiversity.
