Bromofenoxim (Ref: C9122)
Last updated: 14/01/2023
(Also known as: bromophenoxim)
Bromofenoxim is an obsolete phenoxy selective herbicide. It has a low aqueous solubility and is not considered highly volatile. It is not expected to be persistent in soil or water systems. Nor is it expected to leach to groundwater. It has a low to moderate toxicity to most fauna and flora. Bromofenoxim is moderately toxic via the oral route to mammals but other health related information is scarce.
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
