ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Bentazon's former production and use as a post-emergence contact herbicide has resulted in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 3.45×10-6 mm Hg at 20 deg C indicates bentazon will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase bentazon will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in the air is estimated to be 6.2 hours. Particulate-phase bentazon will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Bentazon's UV spectrum indicates an absorption band above 290 nm, with a maximum between 330 and 335 nm, indicating direct photolysis is possible. If released to soil, bentazon is expected to have very high mobility in soils based on Koc values in the range of 13.3 to 176. Based on a pKa of 3.3, bentazon is expected to exist primarily as an anion in moist soil and water surfaces and the anionic form of bentazon will not volatilize. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process for the neutral species of bentazon based on a Henry's law constant of 2.2×10-9 atm-cu m/mole. Volatilization from dry soil surfaces is not expected to be an important environmental fate process based on the vapor pressure. Field degradation studies indicate that bentazon will be rapidly biodegraded by soil microorganisms with half-lives ranging from 6.7 to 15 days. If released into water, bentazon is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediments based on the Koc data. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process for the neutral species based on the Henry's law constant and that the anionic form of bentazon will not volatilize. Complete photolysis of bentazon took place within 16 hours in distilled water at pH 6.8 when irradiated with UV light. An estimated BCF of 79 indicates that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate. Occupational exposure to bentazon may occur through inhalation of dust particles and dermal contact with this compound during its application to foliage or at workplaces where it is produced. Limited monitoring data suggest the general population may be exposed to bentazon via ingestion of contaminated drinking water. (SRC)
