Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology: Algae: ErC50 for Skeletonema costatum 45, Selenastrum capricornutum 51, Navicula sp. 87μg/l; ErC50 for Anabaena flos-aquaeBees: LD50 (oral) 25μg/bee; (contact) 11μg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD50 for chickens >1000, bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >500 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (5 d) >5000 mg/ kg.Daphnia: LC50 (48 h) 1.4 mg/l; NOEC (21 d) 0.61 mg/l.Fish: LC50 for bluegill sunfish 2.88, rainbow trout 3.26 mg/l. LC50 (96 h) for goldfish fingerlings >1.4 mg/l.Worms: NOEC (14 d) for earthworms >102.6 mg/ kg soil.Other aquatic spp.: EC50 (14 d) for Lemna gibba 0.015 mg/l, NOEC 0.006 mg/l. EC50 (shell deposition) for eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) 0.28 Environmental fate: Animals:In rats, elimination was virtually complete within 72 hours, c. 60% in faeces and 40% in urine. In rabbits, the ratio was reversed. Numerous metabolites have been detected in both urine and faeces. Biliary excretion accounted for a major portion Soil:In soil, microbial degradation occurs rapidly, aerobic metabolism being slower than anaerobic (DT50 1.2 mo and 10 d, respy., in the same soil). This involves dealkylation of the amine nitrogen, Plant:No oryzalin residues were detected in soya bean plants.
