Health hazards

Tebuthiuron has moderate to low toxicity in experimental animals when ingested and by skin exposure. Tebuthiuron did not induce sensitization or allergic reactions when tested on the skin of guinea pigs. Application to the eyes of rabbits produced short-term conjunctivitis, inflammation of the lining of the eye, but no irritation to other eye parts, the cornea, or the iris. The inhalation by animals of 3.7mg/L technical Tebuthiuron for 4 hours did not cause toxicity.
