Both benomyl and carbendazim are well absorbed after oral exposure (80–85%) but poorly absorbed after dermal exposure (1 or 2%) in rats‚ mice‚ dogs and hamsters. The major pathway of clearance is urinary elimination in rats and mice‚ but in dogs the majority of the dose (83.4%) is eliminated via feces‚ with only 16.2% of the dose eliminated in the urine after 72 h of dosing.
