Dinitramine (Ref: USB 3584)
Last updated: 02/09/2023
(Also known as: diethamine)
Dinitramine is a soil incorporated pre-plant herbicide. It has a low aqueous solubility and a low volatility. Depending on local conditions it may be moderately persistent in soils. Based on its physico-chemical properties it is not expected to leach to groundwater. Available ecotoxicological data is very limited but dinitramine is moderately toxic to birds and fish. Dinitramine has a low oral mammalian toxicity.
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.
