As you pointed out, the main breakdown product involves carbamate hydrolysis; the parent imidazole has been detected in microbes. The fungicide itself actually has a half-life (water, aerobic conditions) of 2 months. <br /><br />The LD50? Ridiculously high (2-15 GRAMS / kg) in most organisms tested. The panel here seemed pretty far-ranging: rats, mallard ducks, earthworms, bobwhite quail (?!). Pity the poor channel catfish, whose 96-h LD50 was a mere 7 ug / L of tank water.<br /><br />Potential take-home lesson: don't pour tainted orange juice into nearby streams!See Arr Ohhttp://justlikecooking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-57610328801770405802012-02-04T01:35:06.733-05:002012-02-04T01:35:06.733-05:00Carbendazim is extremely unlikely to accumulate; w...Carbendazim is extremely unlikely to accumulate; with a reactive carbamate it should degrade quite rapidly.gippgignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-41499426320736285352012-01-30T09:29:57.584-05:002012-01-30T09:29:57.584-05:00If they had focused on the lack of fungi in the OJ...If they had focused on the lack of fungi in the OJ perhaps it would have gone over better.

What really drives me nuts, though, is the way people use the word "Natural" to mean "pure, wholesome, good for you", etc -- a blatant misuse that has become ubiquitous in modern advertising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010505890506526002.post-62817944777433850132012-01-28T10:56:57.923-05:002012-01-28T10:56:57.923-05:00While I accept your definition, I still contend th...While I accept your definition, I still contend that the overuse (and negative lean) of the term makes it more difficult when we chemists want to use the word to present our work, or advance a concept. <br /><br />RE: Lobbyists - Most of the DC groups represent exactly the big industrial concerns you've just mentioned.

Maybe chemists (and the word chemist connotes to me smart people in glasses and white lab coats pouring things from beaker to beaker) need to find another term to use. It's very, very hard to change a cultural connotation like that. "Synthesized molecular compounds" is wordy, but sounds cool.<br /><br />Don't chemists have a lobbying firm in Washington? Or a trade group that could pull this together?<br /><br />But I don't think I know anyone who is anti-science, at least.Jaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520780985437276733noreply@blogger.com
