Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology:
Algae: IC50 for Scenedesmus subspicatus 46 mg/l.Bees:LD50 (oral) >200 mg/bee; (contact) >100μg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD50 for mallard ducks >2510 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (8 d) for mallard ducks and Japanese quail >5620 mg/kg.Daphnia: LC50 (48 h) 530 mg/l.Fish: LC50 (96 h) for carp >300, rainbow trout >320, bluegill sunfish 360 mg/l. Does not bioaccumulate in fish.Worms:LD50 (14 d) for earthworms >1000 ppm ( mg a.i./kg dry soil).
Environmental fate:
Animals:In rats, following oral administration, absorption is rapid and almost complete, with 81-92% eliminated within 144 hours, in the urine and faeces. Extensive metabolism occurs, mainly by hydrolysis at various points on the methoxyacetamide moiety, and oxidSoil:In laboratory experiments, DT50 was 6-9 mo. However, in the field, DT50 values of 2-3 mo were observed. In soil, the main metabolite is oxadixyl acid.Plant:In plants, the major part (>94%) of the applied dosage remains unchanged. A maximum of 9% penetrates the leaf surface after 42 days, and c. 42% of this is metabolised. WATER SOLUBILITY: 3400 ppm at 20℃
