Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates)

 3-Generation Reproduction - rat: Systemic NOEL=25 ppm (1.25 mg/kg/day); Systemic LEL=75 ppm (3.75 mg/kg/day) (increased incidence of alveolar histiocytosis in the lungs);

Reproductive NOEL=150 ppm (7.5 mg/kg/day) (HDT); Reproductive LEL=none; core grade guideline (Chevron Chemical Co., 1982).

 2-Year Feeding (oncogenic) - rat: Systemic NOEL=25 ppm (1.25 mg/kg/day); Systemic LEL=75 ppm (3.75 mg/kg/day) (increased incidence of opacities, cataracts and non- neoplastic lung lesions); core grade guideline for chronic toxicity, supplementary for oncogenicity (Chevron Chemical Co., 1983b).

 Teratology - mouse: Maternal NOEL=1 mg/kg/day; Maternal LEL=5 mg/kg/day (14.2%

reduction in body weight); Fetotoxic NOEL=5 mg/kg/day; Fetotoxic LEL=10 mg/kg/day (HDT; partially ossified sternebrae in 26.3% of fetuses); core grade minimum; (Chevron Chemical Co., 1977b).



It has been estimated that a lethal dose in man is about 14 mL of a 40% solution of paraquat.



^{ADME :} Paraquat was poorly absorbed after oral administration to rats, dogs and mice.

Once absorbed, paraquat was rapidly distributed to most tissues but especially to lungs and kidneys. Tissues other than lungs did not retain paraquat.



EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES: An epidemiology study of poisoning during 1 yr (from May 1, 1986) was done of the Galle district in rural Sri Lanka. 73% of poisoning was due to intentional self-poisoning. Paraquat was the /most common/ poisoning agent and had a high fatality rate of 68%. This rate was significantly higher than that for insecticides (p<0.001)



GENOTOXICITY: Paraquat was weakly positive in the mammalian cells (human

lymphocytes) in culture cytogenetic assay, with and without metabolic activation (S-9 mix).

Increases in chromosome damage were found in non-activated cultures exposed to the 1250 ug/mL and higher levels of paraquat. In the presence of S-9, statistically significant (P < 0.01) increases in chromosome damage were observed at 1750 ug/mL in the case of one donor and at 2500 ug/mL in the case of another donor.



Acute studies:

 Acute Exposure/ Oral LD50 (mg/kg) rats 126, guinea pigs 22, and monkeys 50. Toxicity included anorexia, adipsia, diarrhea, hyperpnea, dyspnea, tachycardia, necrosis of liver, kidney, and GI tract with primary lesions in lungs. Lung hemorrhage and edema in all dead in less than 7 days.

 LD50 Rat male oral 344 mg/kg

 LD50 Rale female oral 283 mg/kg



LD50 Turkey (White, female) dermal 375 mg/kg bw /from table 11.3

Chemical if, listed in NTP or IARC or by OSHA as Carcinogens

Paraquat was negative in reverse mutation assays in Salmonella with or without metabolic activation using hepatic homogenates (Anderson et al., 1972; Benigni et al., 1979). It was also negative in dominant lethal tests using both CDI and Swiss-Webster mice (Pasi et al., 1974) and in rat bone marrow chromosomal aberration tests.

ABN: Para-SHOT 3.0 Page 7 of 9

12.2 Persistence and degradability

The biodegradation of paraquat is very slow when strongly adsorbed to clay or organic matters in soils because it becomes unavailable. When not in the absorbed-state, paraquat will

biodegrade. Some photo degradation may occur on plant leaves or soil surfaces exposed to sunlight. Field dissipation half-lives in soil are reported to range from 99-4747 days. If released into water, paraquat is expected to adsorb very strongly to suspended solids and sediment based upon the observed Koc range and observations from various studies. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant.

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An observed BCF range of 0.05-6.9 suggests bio concentration in aquatic organisms is low.

Hydrolysis and direct photolysis in water are not expected to be important environmental fate processes based upon laboratory studies. Occupational exposure to paraquat may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where paraquat is produced or used. However, the respiratory exposure to paraquat was found to be negligible compared to dermal exposure during field spraying of the herbicide

12.4 Environmental fate (exposure)

Mobility in soil: Paraquat Dichloride (1910-42-5)

an

observed Koc range of 15,473-1,000,000 indicates that paraquat is expected to be immobile in soil (SRC). Field studies and soil column leaching studies have demonstrated that paraquat is strongly adsorbed to soil constituents and does not leach under environmental conditions. The process that may control the fate of paraquat in soil is slow biodegradation

If released to air, a vapor pressure of <7.5X10-8 mm Hg at 25 deg C indicates paraquat dichloride will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase paraquat will be removed from the atmosphere by wet or dry deposition. If released to soil, paraquat is expected to have no mobility based upon an observed Koc range of 15,473- 1,000,000. Field studies and soil column leaching studies have demonstrated that paraquat does not leach under environmental conditions. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of

<4.1X10-14 atm-cu m/mole.

12.5 Other adverse effects

The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. The substance may cause long-term effects in the aquatic environment. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

13. Disposal Considerations

13.1

Waste treatment methods

(a) Waste treatment containers and methods:

Waste Disposal Method: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Container disposal – Dispose of product containers, waste containers, and residues according to label instructions and local, state, and federal health and environmental regulations.

WGK Germany: 3

(b) Sewage disposal: Sewage disposal shall be discouraged 13.2 Additional

information:

Paraquat is rapidly inactivated in soil. It is also inactivated by anionic surfactants. Therefore an effective and environmentally safe disposal method would be to mix the product with ordinary household detergent and bury the mixture in clay soil.
