WHO (a.i.) III; Slightly hazardous
|
Environmental Toxicity
|
:
|
The major metabolic routes for pendimethalin involve hydroxylation of the 4-methyl and N-1ethyl groups, oxidation of these alkyl groups to carboxylic acids, nitro-reduction, cyclisation and conjugation. Not toxic for birds, mallard ducks, bobwhite quail. It is very toxic to fish, rainbow trout, bluegill sunfish, channel catfish. It is non toxic for worms. It is non toxic for bees.
