12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Methoprene showed an initial aerobic biodegradation half-life of approximately 10 days at a surface treatment rate of 1 kg/ha in both sandy and silty loam soils(1). The biodegradation half-life in pond water was about 30 hrs at 0.001 ppm and 40 hrs at 0.01 ppm(2). At 0.42 ppm in pond water for 3 days, three primary metabolites were produced: hydroxy-ester; methoxy-acid; hydroxy-acid(2). After 13 days incubation in pond water, the single major metabolite produced was identified as 7-methoxycitronellic acid(2). Degradation is somewhat less rapid under sterile conditions than under nonsterile conditions indicating that, although photolysis may be the main degradation route, microbial metabolism contributes to methoprene degradation(3). Methoprene degradation occurs at approximately the same rate in both freshwater and saltwater maintained in the dark(3). Degradation proceeds more rapidly at 20°C than at 4.5°C, with associated half-lives of 10-35 days and >35 days, respectively(3). The major microbial product is 7-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctanoic acid (methoxycitronellic acid)(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 2000 was calculated in fish for methoprene(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.5(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high, provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). Uncharacterized methoprene residues accumulated in edible tissues of bluegill sunfish and crayfish at maximum bioconcentration factors of 457 and 75, respectively(4).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of methoprene can be estimated to be 5300(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that methoprene is expected to be immobile in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
