Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology: Algae:NOEC (3 d) for Selenastrum capricornutum >4.76 mg/l.Bees:LD50 (48 h) for honeybees (contact) >100 mg/bee; (feeding) >133.2 mg/bee.Birds:Acute oral LD50for Japanese quail >5000 mg/kg b.w.Daphnia:LC50 (3 h) for Moina macrocopa >100 mg/l.Fish:LC50 (96 h) for rainbow trout >20, carp >50 mg/l.Worms:LC50 (14 d) for earthworms >1000 mg/kg soil.Other aquatic spp.:LC50 (96 h) for Neocaridina denticulata >200 mg/l.Other beneficial spp.:Safe to predatory mites, wasps and other beneficial species. Environmental fate: Animals:In rats, chromafenozide is rapidly excreted within 48 hours after administration, and is not persistent in tissues and organs. The major component excreted is unchanged chromafenozide.Soil:DT50 for field dissipation 44-113 d (upland soil, 2 sites), 22-136 d (paddy soil, 2 sites). Koc 236-3780.Plant:In apples, rice and soya beans, many minor metabolites are detected in small amounts, but the major component is unchanged chromafenozide. WATER SOLUBILITY: 1.12 mg/l at 20°C
