Environmental Toxicity
|
:
|
Chlorpyriphos is very toxic to many bird species such as grackles and pigeons, and it is moderately toxic to others such as mallard ducks. Mallard ducks fed Chlorpyriphos laid fewer eggs and raised fewer ducklings. The eggshells were thinner than normal, and many of the young ducklings died. Of all birds, robins are most often found dead following accidents involving Chlorpyriphos use.
It is also very toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. It may build up in the tissues of fish and other animals that eat smaller animals. This is known as bioaccumulation.
It is very toxic to bees. It can poison non-target insects for up to 24 hours after it is sprayed. can be toxic to earthworms for up to 2 weeks after it is applied to soil.
