Environmental:

• Highly Toxic to fish

• Bioaccumulation Potential

• Phototoxic. Oxyfluorfen may pose risks to animals not conveyed by standard guideline toxicity studies because its mode of action suggests it may be more toxic in the presence of light (phototoxic)

• Sub-chronic and chronic risks to terrestrial birds and mammals present a serious concern. These toxic effects may be manifested as reproductive, developmental, and hemolytic consequences.

Contamination Incidents:

• Aug 2000: Fifteen Mile Creek near the Dalles Dam, Oregon. Truck carring 20,000 pounds crashed into bridge spilling Herbicide into creek yards from where it enters the Columbia River.

• March 1996: Madera County, CA. Aerial drift onto 90-100 acres of almonds. Estimated damage $520,000 to $760,000.

• May 1996: Desha County, AR. Aerial drift onto 160 acres of rice.

• March 1996: Kern County, CA. Aerial drift onto 10 acres of oranges.
