/l. Fish:
50 (96 h) for rainbow trout 3.9, bluegill sunfish 7.1 mg
/l.Worms:Initially toxic to earthworms; not persistent, therefore re-colonisation is very quick.Other aquatic spp.:Moderate acute toxicity.
Environmental fate:
Animals: Excretion in rats occurred primarily as the mercapturic acid conjugate and its corresponding sulfoxide. Soil:Non-persistent in soil, undergoing hydrolysis to the corresponding 3-chloroallyl alcohols (C. E. Castro & N. O. Belser,
J. Agric. Food Chem., 1966,
14, 69).
WATER SOLUBILITY: 0.1%.
