Based upon analyses using a number of validated structure-activity relationship models, it is concluded that the carcinogenicity in rodents of chlorothalonil is not due to a genotoxic mechanism.

Horizontal transfer of the chlorothalonil hydrolytic dehalogenase gene (chd) is proposed based on the high conservation of the chd gene and its close association with a novel insertion sequence, ISOcsp1, in 16 isolated chlorothalonil-dechlorinating strains belonging to eight different genera.
Chronic dietary treatment of rodents with the fungicide chlorothalonil causes an increased incidence of papillomas and carcinomas of the forestomach squamous epithelium (rats and mice, both sexes) and adenomas and carcinomas of the renal proximal tubule epithelium (rats, both sexes;

Chlorothalonil is used extensively in Prince Edward Island for the control of blight on potatoes, and has been measured throughout summer months in ambient air monitoring studies. This study was designed to characterize near-field drift of chlorothalonil, and to evaluate
The precise application of risk assessment can lead to different conclusions about risk depending on how species are grouped in the assessment. We compared the use of different risk assessment methods for three different classes of pesticide, the herbicide diuron
