Description

Zineb: An agricultural fungicide of the dithiocarbamate class. It has relatively low toxicity and there is little evidence of human injury from exposure. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

zineb : A polymeric complex of zinc with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. Formerly used as an agricultural fungicide for the control of downy mildews and rusts, its use is no longer permitted in the US or the EU.

Toxicity

Ferbam and thiram were more toxic on the basis of weight than zineb. Maneb was relatively nontoxic.

Dosage Studied

The absence of a positive previous history of the patient, the sudden appearance and spontaneous disappearance of the symptoms, and the apparent dose-response relationship strongly suggested that maneb and zineb were the cause of the illness.
