12.- ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Contaminating form and potential
Persistence and degradability:
Animals decontaminate by enzymatic hydrolysis, forming soluble water groups that eliminate through the orine.
Malathion is barely absorbed by the leaves of the plant and in his surface it is degraded quickly / In the presence of metal ic ions, mainly iron, is quickly decomposed. Microorganisms facilitate his enzymatic decomposition very quickly on the grounds/ In the water is Cypermethrin: Average life of Cis-isomer is several weeks, but Trans-isomer is two hours. Persistence of the product changes according to the climatic plant, conditions and insects.
Mobility/bioaccumulation:
Malathion is not accumulated in animals tissues. Cypermethrin has got high bioaccumulation factors. Xylol: Insoluble in water. It has a relatively high speed of evaporation, reason why he is immovable on grounds. It is not Calig is immobile in soils.
Effect on the environment/ ecotoxicity
