ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals Chlozolinate is readily absorbed, metabolised and excreted. Metabolites identified in urine of rats are: 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-methyloxazolidin-2,4-dione, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-hydroxypropionamide, O-1-carboxyethyl-N-3,5-dichlorophenyl carbamate, and N-(3,5-dichloro-2(or 4)-hydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxypropionamide and its sulfate and glucuronide conjugates. Plants In plants, chlozolinate undergoes hydrolysis and decarboxylation processes, giving the same metabolites as those identified in animals. Soil/Environment In silt-loam, sandy loam and clay loam soils, hydrolysis and decarboxylation occur; aerobic DT50 <7 h.
