(Not known by any other names)
D-D is an organochlorine multi-use pesticide. It is highly soluble in water but little other data relating to its environmental fate is available. D-D is moderately toxic to fish and is also moderately toxic to mammals if ingested. It is also an irritant.
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.
