| Gesundheitsgefahren | SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include contact dermatitis, slight edema, erythema, pruritus and burning. It may cause skin and eye irritation. It may also cause liver and kidney damage, coma or convulsions. |
| Gefahrenübersicht | Simazine is slightly to practically nontoxic. Damage to the liver and other organs is observed in high-dose feeding studies of experimental animals. [EXTOXNET] The following herbicides have an oral LD50 of >1 gm/kg and have little or no acute toxicity in humans: Alachlor, Amitrole, Ammonium sulfamate, Atrazine, Dalapon, Dicamba, Glyphosphate, Monuron, Oryzalin, Picloram, Propanil, Simazine, etc. [LaDou, p. 613] For the triazine herbicides, systemic toxicity unlikely unless large amounts are ingestedMay cause irritation[EPA Pesticides, p. 121] Not acutely toxicTLV Basis: hematologic effectsIn female rats, depression in red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit and elevations in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and white blood cell count were seen at both the mid and high doses and the NOEL for these effects was 10 ppm or 0.52 mg/kg/day. Dermatitis has been reported, but a repeated patch insult test with 50 human subjects showed the 80% wettable powder formulation of simazine was not a primary irritant, defatting agent, or sensitizer. [ACGIH]The major hazards encountered in the use and handling of simazine stem from its toxicologic properties. Toxic by all routes (ie, inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact), exposure to this colorless to white powder may occur from its manufacture, formulation, and use as an herbicide. Effects from exposure may include eye and dermal irritation, shortness of breath, muscle spasms, ataxia, and anorexia. In activities and situations where over exposure may occur, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and personal protective clothing. If contact should occur, immediately flush affected skin or eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes at the site. While simazine does not ignite easily, it may burn with the production of irritating and poisonous gases. For fires involving simazine, extinguish with dry chemical, CO2, Halon, water spray, fog, or standard foam. Simazine may be shipped domestically via air, rail, road, and water, in containers bearing the label "Poison". Simazine should be stored in its original container, in dark, well-ventilated areas, away from heat, sparks, and other sources of ignition. Small dry spills of simazine may be placed into a clean, dry, covered container for later disposal (liquid solutions are first absorbed in sand or other noncombustible absorbent). Large liquid spills should be diked far ahead to prevent simazine from entering water sources and sewers. Before implementing land disposal of simazine, consult with regulatory agencies for guidance. |

| Special Reports | USEPA/Office of Pesticide ProgramsReregistration Eligibility Decision Document - Simazine. 267 p. EPA 738-R-06-008 (April 2006) This document presents EPA's revised human health and environmental fate and effects risk assessments, its progress toward tolerance reassessment, and the reregistration eligibility decision for simazine. The document consists of six sections. Section I contains the regulatory framework for reregistration and tolerance reassessment. Section II provides a description of the chemical and a profile of the use and usage of the chemical. Section III provides a summary of the human health and ecological risk assessments which have been revised based on data, public comments, and other information received in response to the preliminary risk assessments. Section IV presents the Agency's risk management, reregistration eligibility, and tolerance reassessment decisions. Section V summarizes the data requirements necessary to confirm the reregistration eligibility decision as well as label changes and language necessary to implement the risk mitigation measures outlined in Section IV. Section VI, the Appendices, provides related information and supporting documents. The preliminary and revised risk assessments for simazine are available in the public docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0151 located on-line in FDMS, http://www.regulations.gov.US EPA/Office of Pesticides Programs, Health Effects DivisionCumulative Risk from Triazine Pesticides. 65 p. (March 2006). As part of the tolerance reassessment process under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996, EPA must consider available information concerning the cumulative effects on human health resulting from exposure to multiple chemicals that have a common mechanism of toxicity. Based on use patterns and the likelihood of exposure to atrazine, simazine, and propazine, only atrazine and simazine and their common metabolites (DEA, DIA and DACT) have been included in the the triazine cumulative risk assessment.European Chemicals BureauIUCLID Dataset, Simazine (CAS No. 122-34-9) (2000 CD-ROM edition).

| FIFRA-Anforderungen | Tolerances are established for residues of the herbicide simazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine) in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: [Table#3555]Tolerances are established for the combined residues of the herbicide simazine (2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine) and its metabolites 2-amino-4-chloro-6-ethylamino-s-triazine and 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-s-triazine in or on raw agricultural commodities as follows: [Table#3556]The Agency has completed its assessment of the dietary (both food and drinking water), residential, occupational, and ecological risks associated with the use of pesticide products containing the active ingredient simazine. Based on a review of these data and on public comments on the Agency's assessments for the active ingredient simazine, the Agency has sufficient information on the human health and ecological effects of simazine to make decisions as part of the tolerance reassessment process under FFDCA and reregistration process under FIFRA, as amended by FQPA. The Agency has determined that products containing simazine are eligible for reregistration provided that the risk mitigation measures outlined in this document are adopted and label amendments are made to reflect these measures.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. Simazine 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.

| Isolation and Evacuation | Excerpt from ERG Guide 171 [Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]: |
| Wechselwirkungen | Recent studies have demonstrated the potentiating effects of triazine herbicides, such as atrazine and its analogs, to the toxicity of a variety of organophosphate (OP) insecticides. One such OP insecticide, chlorpyrifos, has been the topic of much concern because of its prevalence in the environment. This study focused on examining the effects of 10 select triazine herbicides at concentrations of 1 mumole/L (approximately 200 mug/L) to chlorpyrifos with Hyalella azteca. The compounds selected include atrazine, three of its degradation products, and six other herbicide active ingredients. Toxicity tests were performed using a two-way analysis of variance matrix design with effect levels determined by way of probit analysis. Atrazine was found to have the greatest acutely lethal effect to H. azteca, followed by its closest degradation product, deethylatrazine. Two of the six atrazine analogs, simazine and cyanazine, also showed significant effects to the insecticide's toxicity. Synergistic ratios (SRs) were calculated to compare the effect magnitudes for each of the herbicides. The highest ratio obtained was with atrazine (SR = 1.42). A majority of the past studies involving mixtures of triazines and OPs have examined the potentiation effects of active-use triazine herbicides on Chironomus species. However, compared with the acute effects previously obtained for Chironomus species, H. azteca show a higher tolerance to the presence of the triazine herbicides, even at levels often considered as being at the high end of environmentally relevant concentrations. ..A series of recent studies demonstrated that the triazine herbicide atrazine, although not itself acutely toxic, potentiated the toxicity of certain organophosphate insecticides (OPs) to the midge Chironomus tentans. In the current study, a series of triazine herbicides and triazine herbicide degradation products were tested to determine if other triazines potentiate OP toxicity to midges. Chlorpyrifos and diazinon were the OPs tested. ... All of the triazine herbicides tested (atrazine, simazine, cyanazine, and hexazinone) were capable of potentiating the toxicity of the OPs, whereas the degradation products (s-triazine, deethylatrazine, and deisopropylatrazine) had less effect. In most cases, a triazine concentration of 100 ug/L was necessary to significantly increase OP toxicity, and higher concentrations of triazine caused a greater degree of potentiation. Changes in EC50 values ranged from no change to a 2.5-fold increase in toxicity. Generally, EC50 values changed by less than a factor of 2, indicating that the effect may be of limited concern in regard to future risk assessments of OPs.Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were exposed to a mixture of herbicides, namely atrazine, simazine, diuron, and isoproturon (ASDI) at a cumulative concentration of 50 ug/L for 12 weeks. Control fish and exposed fish were sampled at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of exposure to observe the combined impact of herbicides on non-specific and specific mechanisms of immunity and antioxidant defenses. The antioxidant defenses were evaluated in hemopoietic organs and liver. ASDI-induced stress was reflected as a significant induction of superoxide (O(2)(-)) production in phagocytic cells of head kidney and spleen. In addition, plasma lysozyme activity was consistently high in the treatment group. Specific immunity was assessed by antibody titer responses following immunization of the fish with sheep red blood cells (SRBCs). Antibody titer was reduced throughout the period of observation in ASDI-treated fish. This reduction was found to be significant at week 4 (p<0.05). Herbicide-exposed fish showed reduced resistance against pathogen invasion but remarkable enhancement in lysozyme activity. The ASDI-induced oxidative stress in spleen, kidney and liver was reflected as a change in the antioxidant enzyme activities in these vital organs of fish. /The authors concluded that the/ data indicate that herbicides at concentrations present in water bodies in Europe cause immune suppression in goldfish. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 78 to 3,559(2,3), indicate that simazine is expected to have high to slight mobility in soil(SRC). Increasing sorption has been observed with decreasing pH(4). Volatilization of simazine from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be important(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.2X10-8 mm Hg(5) and water solubility of 6.2 mg/L(5). Simazine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based on its vapor pressure(5). The half-lives for degradation (purportedly mainly soil-catalyzed hydrolysis) of simazine in Hatzenbuhl soil at pH 4.8 and Neuhofen soil at pH 6.5 are 45 and 100 days, respectively(6). Estimated soil hydrolysis half-lives in Wongan Hills loamy sand at 9, 20, and 28 °C were 144, 37, and 21 days, respectively(7). Humic and fulvic acids have been observed to favor the hydrolysis of triazine molecules(8). Microbial breakdown in soil results in degradation of simazine at very variable rates, half-lives range from 27 to 102 days (median 49 days)temperature and moisture are the main factors affecting the rates(5). Complete mineralization of the s-triazine ring to CO2 by microbial degradation of triazine herbicides is typically low, 0.5 to 5%, in soil(2). During 6 months incubation in coarse sandy soils at 15 °C, approx. 4 to 7% of the applied (14)C-ring-labeled-simazine was evolved as (14)CO2(9). Half-lives of simazine in soil biometer studies ranged from 32 to 91 days(10). N-Desethyl simazine and 2-chloro-4,6-bisamino-s-triazine were identified as metabolites(10).TERRESTRIAL FATE: It has been reported that simazine and other s-triazines can be utilized by certain soil microorganisms as a source of energy(1). Microbial degradation products of simazine in soil include 2-chloro-4-amino-6-ethylamino-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4-dihydroxy-6-amino-1,3,5-triazine(1). Mineralization of 10.4% of (14)C-labeled simazine in 110 days has been reported in a clay-lime soilno degradation of simazine was detected in a soil suspension test without the addition of glucose as an energy source suggesting that degradation of simazine in these soil experiments was due to co-metabolism(2). Reported persistence of simazine in soil varies from a half-life of <1 month(3) to no degradation being observed in 3.5 months(4). The amount of organic matter in the soil may have a significant effect on the persistence of simazine(3). Additions of 1%, 5%, and 10% leaf compost to soil gave simazine half-lives of about 140, 60, and 40 days, respectively(3).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 78 to 3,559(2,3), indicate that some adsorption of simazine to suspended solids and sediment in the water column is expected(SRC). Increasing sorption has been observed with decreasing pH(14). Simazine is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces(4) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.4X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 2.2X10-8 mm Hg(5) and water solubility of 6.2 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), BCFs ranging from <1 to 55(7-9) suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate(SRC). Simazine is stable at pH 7 and 9 but the hydrolysis half-life at pH 5 and 25 °C is 70 days(10). The product of simazine hydrolysis is 2-hydroxy-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine(10). Humic and fulvic acids have been observed to favor the hydrolysis of triazine molecules(11). Biodegradation in surface water samples from three ponds in Nagoya City, Japan, ranged from 0 to 30% after four days incubationafter 7 days incubation, biodegradation ranged from 0 to 24%(12). In Po River water, an initial simazine concentration of 5 ug/L was reduced to 3.1 and 2.5 ug/L after 24 and 384 hours incubation, respectively(13). A pKa of 1.62(5) indicates simazine will exist predominantly in the unionized form under environmental pHs(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Dissipation of simazine in pond and lake water was variable, with half-lives ranging from 50 to 700 days. The degradation compound G-28279 /1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, 6-chloro-N-ethyl-CAS Number 1007-28-9/ was identified in lake water samples.For more Environmental Fate (Complete) data for SIMAZINE (6 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
| Lebensmitteluntersuchungswerte | Simazine was not detected (detection limit 10 ppb) in 25 composite samples of Ontario-grown potatoes analyzed in 1983-1985(1). Simazine was detected in 1 out of 862 samples of domestic oranges in 1985 to 1991 at a concn of 0.10 ppm(2). Simazine was identified, not quantified, in an unspecified number of food items in the 2002 and 2003 FDA Market Basket Survey(3). Simazine was identified, not quantified, in 40% of wheat samples collected from different locations in Saudi Arabia(4). Simazine was detected in 3 out of 13,980 food samples analyzed by six states (CA, FL, MA, NY, VA, and WI) for fiscal year 1988(5). |
| Unerwünschte Wirkungen | Occupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation. |
| Expositionspfade | The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. |
| Milk Concentrations | In a goat dosed for 10 days with [14C]simazine at a dose equivalent of 5 ppm [12x the maximum theoretical dietary burden (MTDB)], total radioactive residue (TRR) in milk plateaued by Day 5 at 0.10 ppm. ...In another study, a goat was dosed for 7 days with [14C]simazine at a dose equivalent to 50 ppm in the diet (119x). TRR in milk ranged from 0.71-1.07 ppm during the 7-day dosing period. |
| Ökotoxizitätsauszüge | /BIRDS and MAMMALS/ Mallard ducks were exposed to dietary levels of simazine of 2.0 and 20.0 ppm from prior to the onset of egg laying through the normal egg production cycle. Reproductive parameters analyzed were: eggs laid, eggshell cracks, viable embryos, live 3-wk embryos, normal hatchlings, 14 day old survivors, and eggshell thinning. No reproductive impairment was found./AQUATIC SPECIES/ The presence of atrazine in agricultural sites has been linked to the decline in amphibian populations. The efforts of the scientific community generally are directed toward investigating the long-term effect of atrazine on complex functions (reproduction or respiration), but in the present study, we investigated the short-term effect on the short-circuit current (ISC), a quantitative measure of the ion transport operated by frog (Rana esculenta) skin. Treatment with 5 uM atrazine (1.08 mg/L) does not affect the transepithelial outfluxes of [14C]mannitol or [14C]ureatherefore, atrazine does not damage the barrier properties of frog skin. Atrazine causes a dose-dependent increase in the short-circuit current, with a minimum of 4.64 + or -0.76 uA/sq cm (11.05% + or -1.22%) and a maximum of 12.7 + or -0.7 uA/sq cm (35% + or -2.4%) measured at 10 nM and 5 uM, respectively. An increase in ISC also is caused by 5 uM ametryne, prometryn, simazine, terbuthylazine, or terbutryn (other atrazine derivatives). In particular, atrazine increases the transepithelial 22Na+ influx without affecting the outflux. Finally, stimulation of ISC by atrazine is suppressed by SQ 22536, H89, U73122, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, and W7 (blockers of adenylate cyclase, protein kinase A, phospholipase C, intracellular Ca2+ increase, and calmodulin, respectively), whereas indomethacin and calphostin C (inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and protein kinase C, respectively) have no effect./AQUATIC SPECIES/ Three species of freshwater fish, Tilapia mossambica, Punctius ticto and Heteropneustes fossilis, were exposed to simazine at 1, 5 or 10 ppm. At 10 ppm, it caused death in P ticto in about 10 days and in about 19 days in H fossilis. Proposed safe concentration limits are 0.1 ppm for T mossambica and P ticto and 1 ppm for H fossilis./AQUATIC SPECIES/ The median lethal concentration for simazine, expressed as 80% WP formulation, to fingerling striped bass (Morone saxatilis) was >180 mg/L in hard and soft water.For more Ecotoxicity Excerpts (Complete) data for SIMAZINE (26 total), please visit the HSDB record page. |
| Acute Toxicity Link | Chemical: SIMAZINE |
| Effluent Concentrations | Simazine was detected in 6 of 48 wells suspected of contamination due to spills between 1979 and 1984 in rural Ontario, Canada(1). Simazine was detected, not quantified, in 1 (oil refinery final effluent) of 10 final effluents from industrial plants and publicly-owned treatment works in the US in 1980(2). Whereas simazine was not detected in a sample of industrial effluent nor in the water of the river into which the effluent was discharged, it was detected at 1,000 and 10 ppm in the sediment of the river 1.5 km downstream from the plant and near a nearby dam, respectively(3). |
| ICSC Environmental Data | The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal. |
