- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 18 was calculated for flumioxazin(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 2.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on column leaching studies and the short aerobic soil half-life, the potential for flumioxazin to leach in field agricultural soil is low(1). In soils that have been treated with flumioxazin, it is generally not found below 3 inches in depth(2). Volatilization losses from soil surfaces are negligible(1). Flumioxazin degrades rapidly in soil water via hydrolysis with half-lives of 3.4 to 5.1 days at pH 5.0, 21.4-24.6 hours at pH 7.0, and 14.6-22.0 minutes at pH 9.0(1); therefore, aqueous hydrolysis in moist soils will be an important fate process(SRC). Microbial degradation in soil is also an important fate process(1); the half-life for aerobic soil metabolism is 11.9 to 17.5 days, with an average of 14.7 days(1,2). The photolysis half-life on soil is 3.2 to 8.4 days (average 5.8 days)(2). The rapid soil dissipation rate indicates flumioxazin is not persistent in soil(1). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 13000(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that flumioxazin is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). The hydrolytic degradation half-life of flumioxazin in soil water is 3.4 to 5.1 days at pH 5.0, 21.4-24.6 hours at pH 7.0, and 14.6-22.0 minutes at pH 9.0(3); therefore, hydrolysis will be the major degradation process in water(SRC). An anaerobic aquatic metabolism half-life of 0.2 days has been reported(4). The photolysis half-life in water at pH 5 is 1 day(4). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be slow(5) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.28X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.41X10-6 mm Hg(6), and water solubility, 1.79 mg/l(4). Using this estimated Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(5), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 1,765 hours and 809 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 18(SRC), from a log Kow of 2.55(4) suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), flumioxazin, which has a vapor pressure of 2.41X10-6 mm Hg at 25 °C (2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase flumioxazin is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 6.8 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.68X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) (that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase flumioxazin may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
