Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae: E_rC₅₀ for Scenedesmus subspicatus 43 mg/l.Bees:Not toxic to bees.Birds:Acute oral LD₅₀ for Japanese quail 155, mallard ducks 140-275 mg/ kg.Daphnia: LC₅₀ (48 h) 0.22 mg/l.Fish: LC₅₀ (96 h) for rainbow trout 12.8, golden orfe 61.8 mg/l.Worms: LC₅₀ for Eisenia foetida 262 mg/ kg dry soil.

Environmental fate:
Animals:In animals, ¹⁴C-ethiofencarb is rapidly excreted. The main metabolites are ethiofencarb sulfoxide and sulfone, ethiofencarb phenol and the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone. Metabolism of carbamate insecticides is reviewed (M. Cool & C. K. JaSoil:Ethiofencarb has a relatively high mobility in soil, but is very rapidly degraded to its sulfoxide and sulfone and hydrolysed to the corresponding phenolic metabolites.Plant:In plants, metabolites include ethiofencarb sulfoxide and sulfone and the hydrolysed products ethiofencarb phenol-sulfoxide and sulfone, which form conjugates."
