Last updated: 16/03/2023
(Not known by any other names)
Ethaboxam is a fungicide used to control soil-borne pathogens. It has a low aqueous solubility and is volatile. Although it has a low mammalian toxicity it has a high potential to bioaccumulate. It is moderately toxic to birds, most aquatic species, honeybees and earthworms.
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.
