ADI:0.015 mg/ kg b.w.

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Bees: LD₅₀ (48 h, contact) 15µg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD₅₀ for mallard ducks >4640 mg/kg. Dietary LC₅₀ (5 d) for mallard ducks >4640, bobwhite quail 3401 mg/ kg diet.Daphnia: LC₅₀ (48 h) 0.092 mg/l.Fish: LC₅₀ (96 h) for rainbow trout 0.118, bluegill sunfish 0.168, catfish 0.04, sheepshead minnow 0.06 mg/l.Other aquatic spp.: LC₅₀ (96 h) for grass shrimp 0.101, Quahog clam embryo larvae 0.110 mg/l.

Environmental fate:
Animals:In mammals, propargite is hydrolysed at the sulfite ester linkage to 1-[4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenoxy]-2-cyclohexanol and subsequent hydroxylation of the tert-butyl side-chain. Additional metabolites are formed by further oxidation or sulfation ofSoil: DT₅₀ in most soils 7-14 w. K_oc 23 000-90 000, relatively immobile in soil.Plant:Although propargite is considered a non-systemic pesticide, a small portion of the applied dose penetrates the outside layer of the foliage and undergoes the same metabolism as is observed in animals. WATER SOLUBILITY: 0.215 mg/l at 25° C
