[4] In placental mammals, the urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and ...
The acute toxicity of tetramethylurea is moderate. However, it is embryotoxic and teratogenic towards several animal species. [18] Tetramethylurea was demonstrated to not exhibit dermal corrosion but did exhibit dermal and eye irritation. [19]
