Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
Toxicity to algae: no data available
Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

Fluazifop-butyl is rapidly biodegraded in moist soils, with a half-life of less than 1 week, the major degradation product being fluazifop(1). Conditions that promote microbial activity in soil, such as high moisture levels have been found to favor the degradation of fluazifop-butyl in soil(2). Fluazifop-butyl was rapidly hydrolyzed by a mixed culture enriched from a landfill leachate to fluazifop(3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 1500 was calculated for fluazifop-butyl(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 4.5(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of fluazifop-butyl is estimated as approximately 6700(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 4.5(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that fluazifop-butyl is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Fluazifop-butyl is of low mobility in soil(4). Fluazifop-butyl has been found to bind strongly with homoionic clays(5).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
