【Report】

EPA Genetic Toxicology Program.

【Disposal Methods】
SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.
Hydrolysis is not recomended as a disposal procedure because of the generation of the toxic products, 3,4-dichloroaniline and dimethylamine.
Metobromuron should be incinerated in a unit operating at 850 deg C with off gas scrubbing equipment. Recommendable method: Incineration.

Biomedical Effects and Toxicity

【Biomedical Effects and Toxicity】
METOBROMURON IS ABSORBED BY ROOTS AND LEAVES ...
... Different urea herbicides exhibit different mobilities in plant systems. ... Uptake and translocation of chloroxuron, fluometuron, and metobromuron by bean plants when supplied to nutrient cultures in equal concn (essentially equimolar) and specific radioactivities were studied. Whereas the movement of chloroxuron to aerial parts was found to be restricted under the short-term conditions applied, both fluometuron and metobromuron were rapidly translocated into leaves. However, the two latter cmpd differed strikingly with regard to their distribution pattern within the leaves. In contrast to metobromuron, which was mainly confined to tracheal veins, fluometuron had almost completely moved out into the mesophyll tissues. Although no extensive comparisons of the movement of different urea structures are available at this time, it would appear that their apoplastic distribution in plants is regulated in part by the same physical-chemical phenomena which control the mobility and availability of the cmpd in soil.

Environmental Fate and Exposure Potential

【Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary】
... TERRESTRIAL FATE: METOBROMURON DISAPPEARED AT A FASTER RATE THAN FLUOMETURON /FROM SOIL/.
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 470(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that metobromuron should have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of metobromuron should not be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.1X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure(4) and water solubility(5), or from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based on an experimental vapor pressure of 3X10-6 mm Hg(4). Metobromuron may photolyze on soil surfaces(SRC) according to two studies(6,7). A variety of pure culture biodegradation studies, including biodegradation in plants, algae, and fungi(8-11), suggest that metobromuron may biodegrade in water(SRC).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 470(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(1), indicates that metobromuron may adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in the water. Metobromuron will be essentially non-volatile from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.1X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure(3) and water solubility(4). An estimated BCF value of 38(1,SRC), from an experimental log Kow(2), suggests that metobromuron may bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC), according to a recommended classification scheme(5). A variety of pure culture biodegradation studies, including biodegradation in plants, algae, and fungi(6-9), suggest that metobromuron may biodegrade in water(SRC).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), metobromuron, which has an experimental vapor pressure of 3X10-6 mm Hg at 25 deg C(2), will exist as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase metobromuron is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 28 hours(3,SRC). Particulate-phase metobromuron may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).
