BROMOXYNIL is a weak acid. | [Hazard]
Toxic. | [Potential Exposure]
Bromoxynil is a hydroxybenzonitrile
herbicide used for postemergent control of broadleaf
weeds; on alfalfa, garlic, corn, sorghum, flax, cereals,
turf and on pasture and rangelands. A United States
Environmental Protection Agency RUP. | [First aid]
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration
with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running
water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. | [Shipping]

Biological. Duke et al. (1991) reported that bromoxynil can be converted to 3,5-
dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid by a microbial nitrolase. Soil. In soils, Klebsiella pneumoniae metabolized bromoxynil to 3,5-dibromo-4-
hydroxybenzoic acid and ammonia (McBride et al., 1986). In soil, bromoxynil undergoes
nitrile and then amide hydrolysis yielding 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and Nitrification in soils is inhibited when bromacil is applied at a concentration of <50
ppm (Debona and Audus, 1970). The half-life in soil is approximately 10 days (Hartley
and Kidd, 1987). Plant. In plants, the cyano group is hydrolyzed to an amido group which is subsequently
oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Hydrolyzes to hydroxybenzoic acid (Hartley and Kidd,
1987). In plants, bromoxynil may hydrolyze to a benzoic acid (Humburg et al., 1989).
Bromoxynil-resistant cotton was recently developed by inserting a bxn gene cloned from
the soil bacterium Klebsiella ozaenae. This gene, which encodes a specific nitrolase,
converted bromoxynil to its primary metabolite 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid
(Stalker et al., 1988). Chemical/Physical. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and bromine when heated
to decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987). Reacts with bases forming water-soluble salts
(Worthing and Hance, 1991). Bromacil is stable to UV light (Hartley and Kidd, 19 |
