Insoluble in ethylene ; Stability:Stable up to c. 275 °C. Hydrolysed by strong alkalis and strong mineral acids. On hydrolysis in buffer (20 °C), DT50 ( calc.) >200 d (pH >10).;

Toxicology

Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for rats 2780 mg/ kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀ for rats >3170 mg/kg. Mild skin and eye irritant (rabbits). May cause skin sensitisation (guinea pigs). Inhalation: LC₅₀ (4 h) for rats >1.75 mg/l air. Phytotoxicity:Well tolerated by most broad-leaved crops, maize, sorghum (safened with fluxofenim or oxabetrinil). ADI:0.008 mg/ kg b.w.

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae:EC₅₀ for Scenedesmus subspicatus 0.1 mg/l.Bees: LD₅₀ (oral and contact) >110 mg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD₅₀ for mallard ducks and bobwhite quail >2150 mg/kg. Dietary LC₅₀ (8 d) for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >10 000 mg/ kg.Daphnia:LC₅₀ (48 h) 25 mg/l.Fish:LC₅₀ (96 h) for rainbow trout 3.9, carp 4.9, bluegill sunfish 10 mg/l.Worms:LC₅₀ (14 d) for earthworms 140 mg/ kg soil.

Environmental fate:
Animals:Rapidly oxidised by rat liver microsomal oxygenases via dechlorination, O-demethylation and side-chain oxidation (J. Agric. Food Chem., 1989, 37, 1088).Soil:Major aerobic metabolites are derivatives of oxanilic and sulfonic acids. DT₅₀ in soil c. 20 d (field). K_oc 121-309.Plant:In plants, metabolism involves natural product conjugation of the chloroacetyl group, and hydrolysis and sugar conjugation at the ether group. Final metabolites are polar, water-soluble, and non-volatile.
