- Linuron
is an odorless, white crystalline solid.
- Trade name: Alfanox, Linurex, Londax, Lorax.
- It is labeled for field and
storehouse use in such crops as soybean, cotton, potato, corn, celery,
parsnips, sorghum, asparagus, and carrots.
- Linuron usually is
applied after a crop has been planted but before weeds emerge, using
ground or aerial equipment.
- In some crops, such as
carrots and celery, linuron is applied to newly emerging plants as an
overtop spray.
- It is slightly toxic by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes, and
has been placed in Toxicity Category III for these effects.
- It causes slight eye irritation in rabbits (Toxicity Category III),
and is not a skin irritant (Toxicity Category IV) or sensitizer.
- The
reported dermal LD50 in rabbits is greater than 5000 mg/kg. It has been
reported to be a skin sensitizer in guinea pigs, and an eye irritant in
rabbits.
- A subchronic toxicity study using rats resulted
in changes in blood cell counts, and retarded growth at the high dose
level.
- People may be exposed to residues of linuron
through the diet.
- Tolerances or maximum residue limits have been
established for linuron in many vegetables, grain crops, meat, milk, and
other agricultural
commodities.
- Linuron dissipates principally by biotic
processes such as microbial degradation.
- In surface soils with adequate organic matter,
the combined processes of adsorption and microbial degradation would
limit linuron's potential to migrate to ground
water.
- Linuron is moderately persistent with an aerobic
soil metabolism half-life ranging from 57 to 100 days.
- Because linuron is sufficiently persistent and
may be mobile under certain environmental
conditions, it has the
potential to impact ground water quality.
- Linuron is not currently regulated under the Safe
Drinking Water Act, and water supply systems are not required to sample
and analyze for it.
- No Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) or drinking
water health advisories have been established for
linuron.
- The potential for spray drift exists when linuron
is applied by ground spray.
