11 .TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ACUTE TOXICITY: DIURON IS SLIGHTLY TOXIC TO MAMMALS.THE ORAL LD50 IN RATS IS 3400MG/kg. THE DERMAL LD50 IS GREATER THAN 2000MG/KG.SOME SIGNS OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION HAVE BEEN NOTED AT HIGH LEVELS OF DIURON EXPOSURE FOR HUMANS, THE ONLY REPORTED CASE OF ACUTE, ORAL EXPOSURE TO THE HERBICIDE PRODUCED NO SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMS OR TOXICITY.
CHORNIC TOXICITY:MALERATS GIVEN EXTREMELY HIGH DOSES OF DIURON OVER A 2-WEEKS PERIOD SHOWED CHANGES IN THEIR SPLEEN AND BONE MARROW,OTHER CHRONIC EFFECTS ATTRIBUTED TO MODERATE TO HIGH DOSES OF THE PESTICIDE OVER TIME INCLUDED CHANGES IN BLOOD CHEMISTRY, INCREASED MORTALITY. GROWTH RETARDATION, ABNORMAL BLOOD PIGMENT,AND ANEMIA,WHEN FED SMALL AMOUNTS OF DIURON IN FOOD FOR 2 YEARS ,ANIMAL SPECIES SHOWED NO ADVERSE EFFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS:DAILY LOW DOSES OF DIURON FED TO FEMALE RATS THROUGH THREE SUCCESSIVE GENERATION CAUSED IS UNLIKELY THAT DIURON WILL CAUSE REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS IN HUMANS AT EXPECTED LEVELS OF EXPOSURE.
FATE IN HUMANS AND ANIMALS: DIURON IS EXCRETED IN THE FAECES AND URINE OF ANIMALS ,BREAKDOWN OF THE COMPOUND IS SIMILAR IN ANIMALS ,PLANTS,AND SOIL, COWS FED VERY LOW DOSES OF DIURON IN THEIR DIETS HAD SMALL AMOUNTS OF RESIDUES IN WHOLE MILK.CATTLE FED SMALL AMOUNTS ACCUMULATED LOW LEVELS OF DIURON IN FAT AND MUSCLE,LIVER AND KINDEY.
1 2.ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA:
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: BASED LARGELY OR COMPLETELY ON INFORMATION FOR
DIURON BIOCONCENTRATION POTENTIAL IS LOW (BCF<100 OR LOG POW <3). POTENTIAL FOR MOBILITY IN SOIL IS MEDIUM (KOC IS BETWEEN 150 AND 500).
DEGRADATION &PERSISTENCE: BASED LARGELY OR COMPLETELY ON INFORMATION FOR DIURON CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL DEGRADATION IS EXPECTED IN THE ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION IS EXPECTED IN THE SOIL ENVIRONMENT WITHIN MONTHS TO YEARS BIODEGRADATION RATE MAY INCREASE IN SOIL AND/OR WATER WITH ACCLIMATION.
ECOTOXICOLOGY: BASED LARGELY OR COMPLETELY ON INFORMATION FOR DIURON. MATERIAL IS MODERATELY TOXIC TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS ON AN ACUTE BASIS(LC50/EC50 IS BETWEEN 1 AND 10MG/L IN THE MOST SENSITIVE SPECIES).MATERIAL IS SLIGHTLY TOXIC TO BIRDS ON AN ACUTE BASIS (LD50 IS BETWEEN 501 AND 2000 MG/KG).
1 3.DISPOSSAL CONSIDERATIONS
DISPOSAL MEHTOD: DISPOSE OF WASHINGS, CONTAMINATED MATERIALS, USED ABSORBENTS, AND OTHER WASTE MATERIAL AS DIRECTED BY LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF EXCESS WASTES IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.
