Flamprop-M-isopropyl (Ref: WL 43425)	Last updated: 18/01/2023
(Also known as: flamprop-M; CL 901444; AC 901444; L-flamprop-isopropyl)

SUMMARY

Flamprop-M-isopropyl is a discontinued herbicide. It has a low solubility in water, is volatile and there is some concern regarding risk of leaching to groundwater. It is moderately persistent in soils. Whilst it has a low mammalian toxicity there is some concern about bioaccumulation. No serious human heath risks have been identified. It is moderately toxic to birds, most aquatic organisms, honeybees and earthworms.
