Usage

General Description

1-(3-chlorophenyl)-3-propylurea is a chemical compound that is also known as diuron. It is a white, crystalline solid and is commonly used as a herbicide to control weeds in various agricultural settings. Diuron works by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants, leading to their eventual death. It is also used in non-agricultural settings, such as in industrial areas and along roadsides. Diuron has been found to have low acute toxicity to mammals, but long-term exposure to high levels of the chemical can have negative effects on the liver and thyroid. Due to its potential impact on the environment and human health, the use of diuron is regulated in many countries.
