| RCRA-Anforderungen | U271As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when benomyl, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to Federal and/or State hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5). |
| FIFRA-Anforderungen | As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Benomyl is found on List A, which contains most food use pesticides and consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA, as amended in 1988. Case No: 0119Pesticide type: fungicideRegistration Standard Date: 06/87Case Status: OPP is reviewing data from the pesticide's producers regarding its human health and/or environmental effects, or OPP is determining the pesticide's eligibility for reregistration and developing the Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document.Active ingredient (AI): BenomylData Call-in (DCI) Date(s): 06/16/92, 03/03/95, 10/13/95AI Status: The producers of the pesticide has made commitments to conduct the studies and pay the fees required for reregistration, and are meeting those commitments in a timely manner.Tolerances are established for the combined residues of the fungicide benomyl ... and its metabolites containing the benzimidazole moiety (calculated as benomyl) in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: Almond hullsapples (pre- and post-harvest)apricots (pre- and post harvest)bananas (pre- and post-harvest, not more than 0.2 ppm negligible residue ... present in the pulp after the peel is removed and discarded)barley, grainbarley, strawbeansbeans vine foragebeets, sugar, rootsbeets, sugar, topsblackberriesblueberriesboysenberriesbroccolibrussel sproutscabbagecarrotscattle, fatcattle, meatcattle meat-by-productscauliflowercelerycherries (pre- and post-harvest)Chinese cabbagecitrus, dried pulpcitrus fruit (pre- and post-harvest)collardscorn, fresh (including kernel plus cob with husk removed)corn, sweet fodder and foragecucumberscurrantsdewberrieseggplantseggsgarlicgoats, fatgoats, meatgoats, meat by-productsgrapeshogs, fathogs, meathogs, meat by-productshorses, fathorses, meathorses, meat by-productskalekohlrabiloganberriesmangoesmelonsmilkmushrooms (pre- and post-harvest)mustard greensnectarines (pre- and post-harvest)nutsoats, grainoats, strawpeaches (pre- and post-harvest)peanutspeanut foragepeanut haypears (pre- and post-harvest)pepperspineapples (post-harvest)pistachiosplums (incl fresh prunes, pre- and post harvest)poultry, fatpoultry, liverpoultry, meatpoultry, meat by-productspumpkinsraisinsraspberriesricerice, hullsrice strawrutabagasrye, grainrye, strawsheep, fatsheep, meatsheep, meat by-productssoybeansspinachsquash, summersquash, winterstrawberriessweet potatoestomatoestomatoe products, concentratedturnips, rootswheat, grainwheat, straw.Tolerances with regional registration, as defined in section 180.1(n), are established for residues of the fungicide benomyl ... and its metabolites containing the benzimidazole moiety (calculated as benomyl) in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: avacadosdandelionspapayasturnip greenswatercress. |

If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. INHALATION: supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration. |
| Wechselwirkungen | A key limitation to the use of benomyl & other benzimidazoles is the development of fungal resistance. Resistance management can be achieved by using benomyl in combination with a non-benzimidazole companion fungicide. |
| Zielorgane | DevelopmentalEyes, skin, respiratory system, reproductive system |
| Gesundheitliche Auswirkungen | Skin irritation may occur through industrial exposure, and florists, mushroom pickers and floriculturists have reported allergic reactions to benomyl. Benomyl is a potential teratogen. Studies have shown eye defects can occur at relatively high doses. A test in which rats were dosed orally demonstrated evidence of microphthalmia at dose levels of 62.5 mg/kg and above. In 1996, a Miami jury awarded US$ 4 million to a child whose mother was exposed in pregnancy to Benomyl. The child was born without eyes. The mother had been exposed to an unusually high dose of Benomyl through her occupation, during pregnancy. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 2,000(2), indicates that benomyl is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of benomyl from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 4.93X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(3). Benomyl is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(2). Biodegradation in soils may occur(4), but hydrolysis is the most important fate process. The hydrolysis half-life of benomyl in soil was reported as 19 hours(5).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 2,000(2), indicates that benomyl is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 4.93X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(4). According to a classification scheme(5),an estimated BCF of 9(SRC), from a log Kow of 2.12(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low (SRC). Biodegradation in waters is not expected to be an important fate process since benomyl is hydrolyzed rapidly to methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate (carbendazimMBC) and butyl isocyanate(8). The half-life of benomyl in water was reported as 2 hours(9).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), benomyl, which has a vapor pressure of 3.7X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase benomyl may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). |

| Toxizitätsübersicht | In animal systems, benomyl is metabolized to carbendazim and other polar metabolites, which are rapidly excreted. ... The main source of exposure for the general human population is residues of benomyl and carbendazim in food crops. ... Agricultural workers engaged in pesticide mixing and loading or re-entering benomyl-treated fields are expected to be exposed dermally ... Since dermal absorption is expected to be low, the probability of benomyl having systemic toxic effects on human populations through this route is very low. Benomyl is readily absorbed in animal experiments after oral and inhalation exposure, but much less so following dermal exposure. Absorbed benomyl is rapidly metabolized and excreted in the urine and feces. ... Benomyl does not inhibit acetyl cholinesterase in vitro. It has been shown to induce liver epoxyhydrolase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and glutathione-S-transferase in in vivo studies ... Benomyl has low acute toxicity ... in the rat ... Application to the skin of the rabbit and guinea pig produced either mild or no irritation and moderate skin sensitization. Application to the eyes of rats produced temporary mild conjunctival irritation. ... Benomyl causes a decrease in testis and epididymis weight, a reduction in caudal sperm reserves, a decrease in sperm production and a lowering of male fertility rates. At higher doses, there is hypospermatogenesis with generalized disruption of all stages of spermatogenesis. Benomyl does not affect copulatory behavior, seminal vesicles, sperm motility or related reproductive hormones. ... When administered via gavage ... benomyl was found to be teratogenic ... The effects were microphthalia, hydrocephaly, and encephaloceles. ... In mice, gavage dosing ... induced supernumerary ribs and other skeletal and visceral anomalies. ... Studies in somatic and germ cells show that benomyl does not cause gene mutations or structural chromosomal damage (aberrations) and it does not interact directly with DNABenomyl targets beta tubulin in actively dividing cells. It binds to microtubules, interfering with cell functions, such as meiosis and intracellular transportation (A15332). Benomyl binds to brain tubulin with a dissociation constant of 11.9 +/- 1.2 microM. Further, benomyl binds to a novel tubulin beta binding site, distinct from the well-characterized colchicine and vinblastine binding sites. Benomyl inhibits the polymerization of brain tubulin into microtubules, with 50% inhibition occurring at a concentration of 70-75 microM (A15103) |

Beschreibung
Benomyl, a tan-coloured crystalline solid/powder, is a systemic fungicide with a characteristic odour. It belongs to the benzimidazole family. Benomyl decomposes at high temperature. Benomyl is essentially insoluble in water. It is stable under normal storage conditions but will decompose to carbendazim in water. On decomposition by heat, benomyl produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Benomyl is a systemic and broad-spectrum fungicide that is currently registered for use in more than 50 countries on more than 70 crops for the control of diseases in fruit trees, nut crops, vegetables, cereals, tropical crops and ornamentals, turf, and many field crops. Benomyl is marketed as a wettable powder and as a dry flowable formulation (dispersible granules).
Verwenden
Benomyl is a systemic fungicide with both protective and curative activities. It is effective against more than 190 different fungal diseases in stone fruits, pome fruits, tropical and subtropical fruit crops, grapes, fruiting vegetables, cereals, etc. It is effective against fungal diseases caused by Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes spp., including leaf spots, blotches and blights; fruit spots and rots; sooty mould; scabs, bulb, corm and tuber decays; blossom blights; powdery mildew; certain rusts; common soil borne crown and root rots.
