Toxicology
Oral:Acute oral LD50 for male rats 81, female rats 67, female mice 76 mg/ kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD50 (24 h) for rabbits >1000 mg/kg. Non-irritating to skin and eyes (rabbits), but undiluted formulations may be irritating. No skin sensitisation. Inhalation: LC50 (4 h) for rats 4.85 mg/l air (aerosol). Phytotoxicity:Non-phytotoxic when used as directed. In certain treated crops, e.g. cotton and fruit trees, the green colouration of the foliage is i

Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology:
Bees:Toxic to bees, but also has a repellent effect. LD50 (topical, as a dust) 0.078 μg/bee. Birds:Acute oral LD50 for mallard ducks >2510, bobwhite quail 2708 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (8 d) for mallard ducks 4885, bobwhite quail 3443 mg/ kg diet.Daphnia: LC50 (48 h) 0.0083 mg/l.Fish: LC50 (96 h) for bluegill sunfish 0.71, channel catfish 0.51, rainbow trout 0.32, sheepshead minnow 1.6 μg/l. Low insecticidal dosages and immobility in soils should minimise hazards to fish.
Environmental fate:
Animals:In rats, following oral administration, 60-70% is eliminated within 24 hours, and >95% within 8 days, in the faeces and urine. In the faeces, the parent compound makes up most of the material excreted, but in the urine and in tissue, several metabolites aSoil:In soil, there is low mobility and no leaching, with a half-life of c. 2 months.
