Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology:
Algae:LC50 for Scenedesmus subspicatus >2.2 mg/l.Bees:Not hazardous to bees at recommended doses; LD50 (24 h, contact topical) 6.7 µg tech./bee; (ingestion) 163 µg tech./bee.Birds:Acute oral LD50 for bobwhite quail >2510 mg/kg.

Environmental fate:
Animals:In rats, following oral administration, c. 90% is excreted within 4 d, of which 20-40% is in the urine and 60-80% in the faeces. The principal metabolites are "anilino acid", 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and 4'-3-PBA as faecal metabolites, and 4Soil:In soil under aerobic conditions (lab.), DT50 12-92 d. Primary metabolites include the corresponding anilino acids and the parent aniline. Koc(adsorption) >110 000, (desorption) >39 000.Plant:The parent compound itself accounts for >90% of the residue following treatment with tau-fluvalinate. Minor residues include decarboxyfluvalinate, "anilino acid", haloaniline, 3-PBA and 4'-hydroxy-3-PBA. DT50 2-6 w.
