Description of Diuron:
Diuron is a substituted urea herbicide used to control a wide variety of annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is used to control weeds and mosses on non-crop areas and among many agricultural crops such as fruit, cotton, sugar cane and legumes. Diuron works by inhibiting photosynthesis.
Diuron is a general use pesticide
Diuron has a low acute toxicity to mammals even though it carries the signal word WARNING on the label. The signal word is applied because the compound can cause eye and throat irritation. It is much less of an irritant to intact skin. The rat oral LD50 ranges from 1017 mg/kg to 3750 mg/kg. Some signs of central nervous system depression have been noted at high levels of diuron exposure. For humans, the only reported case of acute, oral exposure to the herbicide produced no significant symptoms or toxicity.
