Environmental Toxicity

:

 Ethylenethiourea is the major metabolite in plants. Ethylenethiurammonosulfide and presumably ethylenethiuram disulphide and sulfur are also formed. It is non toxic to slightly toxic for rats. Slightly irritating to skin and mucous membranes. At very high doses, ethylenethiourea a trace contaminant and breakdown product of zineb has caused thyroid effects, tumour etc. It is toxic for fishes. But it is not toxic to bees.
