It follows from [1, p. 377, Lemma 1] that a noncommutative subdirectly irreducible ring, with no nonzero nilpotent elements, cannot possess any proper zero-divisors. From [2, p. 193, Corollary 1] a subdirectly irreducible distributive lattice, with more than one element, is isomorphic to the chain with two elements. Hence we can say that a subdirectly irreducible distributive lattice with 0 possesses no proper zero-divisors.
