- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Although environmental biodegradation data specific to resmethrin are not available, the pyrethroid class of insecticides is readily degraded by environmental microorganisms(1,2). Pyrethroids are metabolized by both hydrolytic and oxidative processes(2). Both (+) cis and (+) trans undergo isomerization during the formation of metabolites by ester cleavage and oxidation(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 98 was calculated for resmethrin(SRC), using a log Kow of 5.43(1) and a regression derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of resmethrin is estimated at 3.1X10+5(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 5.43(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that resmethrin is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 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.
