Toxicity of diuron in HepG2 cells and zebrafish embryos.

Diuron is an herbicide, which is used to control a wide variety of annual and perennial broadleaf, grassy weeds, and mosses. However, the toxicity of diuron in HepG2 cells and zebrafish embryos was unclear. In this study, HpeG2 cells and zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentrations of diuron for 24 h and 48 h, respectively.
