12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In soil studies, (14)C-benethiocarb was degraded to about 20 compounds detectable by TLC. In addition to unchanged benthiocarb, desethyl benthiocarb, benthiocarb sulfoxide, 4-chlorobenzoic acid, 2-hydroxybenthiocarb, 4-chlorobenzyl methyl sulfone, 4-chlorobenzyl methyl sulfoxide, and 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol, were observed. Under oxidative conditions, benthiocarb was rapidly degraded and (14)CO2 was released from (14)C ring-labeled benthiocarb. Degradation was much slower under reductive flooded conditions.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

Using a continuous-flow water system and a 14-day exposure period, a thiobencarb BCF of 170 was measured in a freshwater fish (topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva)(1). Using a continuous-flow water system and a 14 day exposure period, a thiobencarb BCF of 66 was measured in a freshwater fish (willow shiner, Gnathopogon caerulescens)(2). Average BCFs of 209 and 523 were calculated for pale chub (Zacco platypus) and ayu sweetfish (Plecoglossus altivelis), respectively, collected from Japanese rivers by measuring the water concentration and the concentration in fish(3). Thiobencarb residues accumulated in juvenile bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) exposed to 14C-thiobencarb at 0.05 mg/L, with maximum bioconcentration factors of 128, 639, and 411 for edible (muscle) tissue, nonedible tissue, and whole fish, respectively(4); by day 3 of the depuration period, 93-95% of the accumulated 14C residues were eliminated from the tissues(4). Pale chub, ayu sweetfish, and dark chub (Zacco temminckii) collected in rivers flowing into Lake Biwa, Japan between 1992-1994 had field BCFs of 68, 56, and 248, respectively(5). Willow shiner, topmouth guddeon, and killifish (Pryzias latipes) had laboratory BCFs of 65, 170 and 382, respectively(5). In a laboratory experiment, /bighead carp/ Aristichthys nobilis had BCFs of 714 and 1772 (calculated using homogenized tissue) for initial thiobencarb concentration of 88 and 9 umol/L, respectively(6). According to a classification scheme(7), these BCFs suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to high(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Koc values of 309 and 1043 were measured for thiobencarb in two Japanese soils (respective organic carbon contents of 1.35 and 4.24%)(1). The US Dept of Agric's Pesticide Properties Database has selected a recommended thiobencarb Koc value of 900 based on multiple reported Koc values(2). An average Koc of 5000 was measured in four different soil types (organic carbon content of 0.2-6.8%)(3). Using three Florida soils, Koc values of 765, 539 and 1195 were measured in Pahokee muck (48.6% organic carbon), Everglades muck (34.1% organic carbon) and Immokalee sand (1.1% organic carbon) respectively(4). According to a suggested classification scheme(5), Koc values ranging from 309-5000 suggest that thiobencarb is expected to have moderate to slight mobility in soil. In laboratory and greenhouse mobility studies using these soils, more than 93% of all applied thiobencarb remained in the upper 1 cm after leaching during unsaturated flow(6). In lysimeter leaching studies using a mineral alluvial soil and a humic volcanic ash soil, thiobencarb did not leach below the 15 cm level(7); greater than 60% of applied thiobencarb remained in the upper 5 cm level(7). In greenhouse studies using flooded Australian rice growing soils, 65-70% of applied thiobencarb was recovered from the 0-1 cm layer of soil while less than 2% was recovered from each layer down to 10 cm(8). A field study in a paddy in India found that no leaching or percolation of thiobencarb occurred from the 6-12 inch soil layer(9).

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.
