(Also known as: CDAA; alidochlor; CDAAT; randox; alidochlore )
SUMMARY
Allidochlor is herbicide that is not generally approved for use in the developed world. It has a high potential for bioconcentration, has a moderate mammalian toxicity and a known skin and eye irritant. Allidochlor is highly soluble in water and highly volatile. It is not persistent in the soil but is mobile. It is moderately toxic to fish.
