Chromafenozide
Aerobic degradation of 14C-ANS-118 was studied in soils under laboratory conditions at 10°C in one soil and at 20°C in five soils (one US soil, four European soils). Route of degradation was studied in four soils (Bashir, 1998a; and Van der Gaauw, 2003), and rate of degradation in five soils (Bashir, 1998a Van der Gaauw, 2003 and Mamouni, 2007). As demonstrated by the notifier, the US soil study (Bashir, 1998a) was considered as an outlier due to inconsistency of experimental conditions when compared to European studies, and the corresponding DT50 value was not taken into account for risk assessment. The whole clarification was given in the study”CEHTRA (2012), CM 001 5% SC (Chromafenozide). Fate and behaviour of the active substance in the environment: Updated kinetic re-assessment of experimental studies. Determination of PECsoil, PECgw, PECsw, PECsed and PECair. CEHTRA (France) unpublished report n° CFR-12.010“. Under aerobic conditions, one major degradation product, M-010, was identified, reaching maximum levels of 13.9% of applied radioactivity at the end of incubation (230 days, 20°C). Low levels of seven unidentified metabolites (no single product exceeded 4% of the total 14C residue) were detected. Under anaerobic conditions (Bashir, 1997a), no new metabolites were formed in comparison with degradation under aerobic conditions. M-010 was identified at 5.1% of the applied radioactivity. Non-extractable residues are formed at up of 8.6% of the applied radioactivity. No significant change in the levels of Chromafenozide and M-010 had occurred, indicating that Chromafenozide was stable under anaerobic conditions. Under artificial sunlight conditions in a representative agricultural soil (Bashir M., 1997b), Chromafenozide, its metabolite M-010 and 3 other degradation products were observed, whereas in dark control conditions only Chromafenozide and M-010 where detected. Chromafenozide was principally degraded into M-010 and CO2.
