(Not known by any other names) |
Siduron is a selective pre-emergence herbicide. It has a moderate aqueous solubility, is volatile and, based on its chemical properties, it is moderately mobile with has a high potential to leach to groundwater. It is persistent in both soil and water systems. It has a relatively low mammalian toxicity and would not be expected to bioaccumulate. It is classified as an irritant. It is not highly toxic to birds, is moderately toxic to fish, algae and honeybees. |
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.
