Abstract

Benfluralin is a preemergent herbicide used for nonagricultural and agricultural applications. Benfluralin has mobility in soil; subsequently, leach from soil processed with benfluralin into surface water is probable; however, groundwater is unlikely to be contaminated. The acute toxicity of Benfluralin is low but classified as a dermal sensitizer agent. Renal and Hepatic damage has been noticed in chronic animal experiments. This herbicide has been determined to be dangerous for aquatic life; however, the acute toxicity of Benfluralin to birds and honey bees is low. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
