Fate
Environmental: Degraded by soil microorganisms. No significant leaching through the soil. In plants: Minute quantities of polar metabolites are produced in cotton and soya beans.

Toxicology
Mammals: Acute oral LD50 for rats ca. 10,000 mg/kg. Acute percutaneous LD50 for rabbits >4000, rats >3170 mg/kg. Non-irritating to skin; moderate eye irritant (rabbits). Acute inhalation LC50 (4 hours) for rats >3.97 mg/l air. In 90-day feeding trials, no-effect level for rats was 200 mg/kg diet, and for dogs 600 mg/kg diet.
