Dinobuton (Ref: OMS 1056)
Last updated: 16/01/2023
(Also known as: ENT 27244; MC 1053; dinofen; UC 19786)
Dinobuton is a dinitrophenol multi-use pesticide which is not approved for use in the UK nor the EU. It has a low aqueous solubility but soluble in most organic solvents. Limited information is available regarding its environmental fate but is reported as being non-mobile. It is moderately toxic to mammals, birds and bees but considered highly toxic to fish. Limited data is available on its toxicity to humans but some reports suggest it is a possible cardiovascular, liver and kidney toxicant
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.
