Environmental ProfileEcotoxicology:
Algae: ErC50 for Scenedesmus subspicatus 0.5 mg/l.Bees:Toxic to bees.Daphnia: LC50 (48 h) 0.0025 mg/l.Fish: LC50 (96 h) for rainbow trout 1.5, golden orfe 0.58 mg/l.Worms: LC50 for Eisenia foetida 267 mg/ kg dry soil.
Environmental fate:
Animals:In rats, following oral administration, 4-nitrophenol and paraoxon were the principal metabolites excreted (M. P. Carver, Pestic. Biochem. Physiol., 1990, 38, 254; L. G. Sultatos & C. L. Gagliardi, Biochem. Pharmacol., 1Soil:Based on Koc values and leaching studies, parathion can be classified as a compound with low mobility. In biologically-active soils, parathion is rapidly degraded under laboratory conditions as well as in the field. The degradaPlant:The major metabolites are paraoxon, diethylphosphate, 4-nitrophenol and photometabolites S-ethyl parathion and S-phenyl parathion. WATER SOLUBILITY: 12.4 mg/l at 25°C -
