Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Algae: E_rC₅₀ for Scenedesmus subspicatus 49 mg/l.Bees:Toxic to bees.Birds: LD₅₀ for bobwhite quail 34-37 mg/kg. LC₅₀ (5 d) for mallard ducks >5000, bobwhite quail 434 mg/ kg diet.Daphnia: LC₅₀ (48 h) 0.19 mg/l.Fish: LC₅₀ (96 h) for rainbow trout 17, golden orfe 447.3, bluegill sunfish 1.9 mg/l.Worms: LC₅₀ for Eisenia foetida 115 mg/ kg dry soil.

Environmental fate:
Animals:Elimination is very quick; almost 99% is excreted within 48 h in the urine.Soil:Degradation in different soils is extremely rapid. The main metabolic routes involve oxidation of the sulfoxide to a sulfone group, and oxidative and hydrolytic cleavage of the side-chain, with the formation of dimethylphosphoric acid and phosphoric acid.Plant:Oxydemeton-methyl is very quickly metabolised in sugar beet. Besides oxidation to biologically-active demeton-S-methylsulphon, the main metabolic reactions are hydrolysis and subsequent dimerisation, as well as the formation of conjugates.
