Other toxicological information:
Chronic Toxicity: In chronic dietary studies in rats and dogs exposed to imidacloprid, the target organs were the thyroids and/or liver at high dose levels.
Assessment Carcinogenicity: In oncogenicity studies in rats and mice, imidacloprid was not considered carcinogenic in either species.
Reproduction: In a two-generation reproduction study in rats, imidacloprid was not a primary reproductive toxicant. Offspring exhibited
reduced body weights at the high dose and in conjunction with maternal toxicity.
Developmental toxicity: In developmental toxicity studies in rats and rabbits, there was no evidence of an embryotoxic or teratogenic potential for
imidacloprid. In both species, developmental effects were observed only at high doses and in conjunction with maternal toxicity.
Neurotoxicity: Studies in rats showed slight behavioral and activity changes only at the highest dose tested. There were no correlating morphological
changes observed in the neural tissues.
Mutagenicity: The imidacloprid mutagenicity studies, taken collectively, demonstrate that the active ingredient is not genotoxic or mutagenic.
SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1. Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to lakes, streams or ponds. Do not dump rinse water into sewers or other bodies of
water.
This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators. Follow application restrictions found in the directions for use to protect pollinators.
12.2. Ecotoxicity
(Data based on Imidacloprid Technical)
LC50 (96h) Rainbow Trout: 211 mg/L
LD50 Bobwhite Quail: 152 mg/kg
EC50 (48h) Daphnia magna: 85 mg/L
EC50 (72h) Algae: > 10 mg/L
Bee LD50: 0.008 ug/bee
12.3. Bioaccumulative potential
(Data based on Imidacloprid Technical)
Hydrolysis half-life of Imidacloprid is greater than 30 days at pH 7 and 25oC. The aqueous photolysis half-life is less than 3 hours. The soil surface
photolysis of Imidacloprid has a half-life of 39 days, and in soil, the half-life ranged from 26 to 229 days.
