| Formula |
| C12H6Cl14S |
Its use has been banned in Europe since 2003. [1]
It has a low water solubility 0.03 mg/l and is very hydrophobic. It therefore is very likely to adsorb to particles and the sediment and to have a high potential towards bioaccumulation.
Tetrasul becomes toxic for fishes at concentrations above 11 mg/l. Mammals need to consume more than 3,9 g per kilogram of body weight to be affected. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
