  /TO  MAMMALIAN TOXICOLOGY 
      IARC: 53 
      ACUTE ORAL: Acute oral LD50 for rats >5000 mg/kg. 
      SKIN AND EYE: Acute percutaneous LD50 >5000 mg/kg (rabbits). 
      Non-irritating to skin, slightly irritating to eyes  (rabbits). 
      INHALATION: LC50 (4 h) for rats >4.8 mg/l. 
      NOEL: In 2 y feeding trials in rats, the only effect at the low dose of 
      813 mg/kg in diet was the formation of renal  calculi. This has been 
      shown to be reversible in a 90 d study in dogs and a NOEL established 
      at 2.4 mg/kg daily.  NOEL in mice was 73 mg/kg daily. 
      ADI: 0.024 mg/kg. 
      TOXICITY CLASS (WHO): III (Table 5) 
      Tolerable daily water intake: 20 .mu.g/l (TDI 7.5 .mu.g/kg b.w.). 
      TOXICITY CLASS (EPA): III, IV 
      RISK SYMBOLS (EEC): Material containing less than 0.5 ppm NPDA is 
      Xi (R36); (R43) 
     
  /TO  ECOTOXICOLOGY 
      BIRDS: Acute oral LD50 for bobwhite quail >2000 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (5 
      d) for bobwhite quail and mallard  ducks >5000 mg/kg. 
      FISH: LC50 (96 h) for young rainbow trout 0.01-0.04, young bluegill sunfish 
      0.089 mg/l. 
      BEES: LD50 (oral and contact) >100 .mu.g/bee. 
      DAPHNIA: LC50 (48 h) 0.245 mg/l; NOEC (21 d) 0.051 mg/l. 
      OTHER AQUATIC SPP.: LD50 (96 h) for grass shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.) 
      0.64 mg/l. 
      ALGAE: EC50 (7 d) for Selenastrum capricornutum 12.2 mg/l; NOEC 5.37 
      mg/l. 
      WORMS: LC50 (14 d) >1000 mg/kg dry soil; NOEC (reduced bodyweight) <171 
      mg/kg. 
     
  /DM  ENVIRONMENTAL FATE 
      ANIMALS: Degradation in animals is as for soil (J. L. Emmerson & R. C. 
      Anderson, Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol.,  1966, 9, 84-97). Following oral 
      administration, c. 70% is eliminated in the urine and 15% in the faeces 
      within 72  h. 
      PLANTS: Degradation in plants is as for soil. 
      SOIL AND WATER: Absorbed by the soil, and is extremely resistant to 
      leaching. Little lateral movement in the soil. Metabolism  involves 
      dealkylation of the amino group, reduction of the nitro group to an 
      amino group, partial oxidation of the  trifluoromethyl group to a 
      carboxy group, and subsequent degradation to smaller fragments (T. 
      Golab et al., J. Agric.  Food Chem., 1979, 27, 163); DT50 57-126 d. 
      Duration of residual activity in soil is 6-8 mo. In laboratory studies, 
      degradation was more rapid under anaerobic conditions, e.g. for loam 
      soil, DT50 (anaerobic) 25 d, DT50 (aerobic) 116-201  d. Soil 
      photolysis DT50 41 d; aqueous photolysis DT50 0.8 h. Koc 4400-40 400; 
      Kd ranges from 3.75 (0.01% o.m., pH 6.6) to 639 (16.9% o.m., pH 6.8) 
      (H. J. Pedersen et  al., Pestic. Sci., 44, 131 (1995)).
