Triadimefon

Potential EDCPesticidesDevelopmental_ToxicityFemale_Repro_ToxicityMale_Repro_Toxicity

Triadimefon is a triazole fungicide used on crops and turf to control fungal diseases; people can encounter it on treated foods and in recently treated areas [1]. Animal studies show developmental and liver effects at higher doses, so regulators set safety limits to manage risk [1][2].

Where It Comes From

Applied to cereals, fruits, ornamentals, and turf/golf courses; it can degrade to related triazole compounds and reach surface water in small amounts [1][2].

How You Are Exposed

Eating treated produce or grains; skin contact or inhalation during/after application; kids or pets on treated lawns; occasionally through drinking water near treated areas [1].

Why It Matters

Can affect the nervous system in animals and has caused developmental and liver effects at high doses; these findings inform EPA dietary and residential risk limits [1][2].

Who Is at Risk

Farmworkers and applicators, people who mix/load pesticides, and anyone entering treated areas before the reentry interval; pregnant people and young children are more sensitive to developmental risks [1][2].

How to Lower Your Exposure

Follow posted reentry times; keep children and pets off treated turf until dry; use protective gear when handling; rinse, scrub, or peel fruits and vegetables; support integrated pest management to reduce use [1][3].
