Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology: Birds:Acute oral LD50 for bobwhite quail >2150 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (5 d) for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >5620 mg/kg diet. Daphnia:LC50 (48 h) 7.2 mg/l. Fish:LC50 (96 h) for rainbow trout 6.6, bluegill sunfish 6.4, sheepshead minnow 1.6 mg/l.Other aquatic spp.: LC50 for fiddler crab >1000 mg/l. Environmental fate: Animals:For a study of the metabolism of cinmethylin in the goat, see J. Agric. Food Chem., 1989, 37, 787.Soil:Strongly adsorbed by soils (B. T. Grayson et al., Pestic. Sci., 1987, 21, 143), but relatively short-lived in the environment, being broken down in the soil under aerobic conditions. WATER SOLUBILITY: 63 ppm.
