Abstract:

To evaluate the risk of cyflumetofen and its metabolites on aquatic organisms, acute toxicities of cyflumetofen and its metabolites [A-2, AB-1 dimer, AB-1, AB-11, B-1, B-3, Target 1(B-2), Met-1] on Daphnia magna Straus within 48 h were carried out by semi-static tests, and chronic toxicities of cyflumetofen on D. magna were also investigated by 21 d exposure tests. It was shown that the 48h-EC50 (50% inhibitory concentration) of cyflumetofen, Target 1 (B-2) and Met-1 on D. magna were>0.011 5, >0.031 5,>0.032 8 mg·L-1, respectively, indicating that these reagents had no effect on the activity of D. magna in the concentration range of solubility. The 48 h-EC50 of B-1 and B-3 were both higher than 133 mg·L-1, indicating low toxicity. The 48 h-EC50 of A-2, AB-1 dimer, AB-1 and AB-11 were 7.20, 0.000 127, 1.71, 0.316 mg·L-1, respectively, indicating medium toxicity, very high toxicity, medium toxicity and high toxicity.The no observable effect concentration (NOEC) of D. magna continuously exposed for 21 d was less than 0.017 8 mg·L-1, indicating that the cyflumetofen had no significant inhibitory effect on the growth and reproduction of D. magna in the maximum solubility.Based on 48 h-EC10 (10% inhibitory concentration) and 48 h-EC50, the acute-chronic toxicity ratio (ACR) was calculated.The determined ACRs of A-2, AB-1 dimer, AB-1 and AB-11 ranged from 0.235 to 1.60, which were much lower than the recommended values (100). In conclusion, cyflumetofen within the maximum solubility had no acute and chronic toxic effects on D. magna, but its metabolites A-2, AB-1 dimer, AB-1 and AB-11 had adverse effects,of which the environmental risk should never be neglected.The present results provided scientific basis for the assessment of aquatic environment risk and safe use of cyflumetofen.
