| Description | White to yellowish-brown solid; [Merck Index] Colorless solid; [HSDB]; [MSDSonline] |
| Sources/Uses | Used as insecticide; Inhibits chitin deposition in insect cuticle; [Merck Index] Used as insecticide (larvicide); inhibits molting of larvae of mosquitoes, houseflies, stable flies, and black flies by interfering with chitin synthesis; [HSDB] Used to control leaf-feeding larvae and leaf miners in forestry, top fruit, citrus, and field crops; [INCHEM] Used mainly on cattle, citrus, cotton, mushrooms, ornamentals, standing water, trees, and to control mosquitoes and gypsy moths; [Reference #1] |
| Comments | Caused increased methemoglobin levels in animal studies; [INCHEM] A metabolite, p-chloroaniline, is a probable human carcinogen; Very highly toxic to crustacea and highly toxic to mollusks; Risk of methemoglobinemia for mixers, loaders, and applicators; [Reference #1] |
