Abstract
The health effects of two pesticides, chlordimeform and propanil, are discussed. Chlordimeform and 2‐methyl‐4‐chloroaniline, a major metabolite of chlordimeform, cause severe hemorrhagic cystitis in humans. In cats, however, only a mild effect on the bladder was noted. The herbicide propanil has produced chloracne in humans, and along with 3,4‐dichloroaniline, hyperkeratosis in rabbits. The contaminants 3,4,3’,4'‐tetrachloroazobenzene and 3,4,3’,4'‐tetrachloroazoxybenzene are responsible for the chloracnegenic characteristics of propanil, 3,4‐dichloroaniline, and methazole.Keywords
