General Description

1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)urea, also known as Diuron, is a herbicide and algicide compound widely used in agriculture to control the growth of weeds and algae. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in these organisms, ultimately leading to their death. Diuron is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and has a low volatility. Due to its long half-life in soil and potential to leach into groundwater, Diuron has faced scrutiny for its environmental impact. It has been found to be harmful to aquatic life and has been restricted or banned in some regions. Additionally, studies have shown that exposure to Diuron may have detrimental effects on human health, with the potential for it to cause liver and kidney damage, as well as disruption of the endocrine system.
