Benodanil (Ref: BAS 3170)
Last updated: 03/09/2023
(Also known as: benzamide)
Benodanil is an obsolete fungicide. It has a low aqueous solubility, is volatile and, based on its chemical properties, is not expected to leach to groundwater. It is not persistent in soil systems. It is not highly toxic to mammals.
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
