- Details on study design:
- [Dihydrofuranone-3-14C]Spirodiclofen was applied to a water-sediment system under non-sterile conditions.
The sediment and the water were collected from Fresno, California. The application concentration was 12.5 µg as/L. The test system was incubated under anaerobic conditions by continuously bubbling nitrogen through the water layer at a temperature of 20 ± 1°C in the dark for 365 days. Sampling dates were 0, 2, 7 14, 34, 56, 92, 120, 183, 246, 295 and 365 days after application. Anaerobic conditions, i.e. in the supernatant water, were maintained throughout the study. At each interval the samples (sediment after extraction) were analysed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and additionally for qualitative confirmation by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The content of radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation measurement. Metabolites were identified by cochromatography with authentic reference compounds or with spectroscopic methods. - Key result

- Major metabolite: Spirodiclofen-enol
The major metabolite Spirodiclofen-enol (M01) increased from an average of 4.5 % at day 0 to 93.9 % at day 56, and then slowly decreased to 84.6 % by day 365. Other metabolites in the total system increased from a combined total of 0.9 % of the total applied radioactivity at day 0 to a maximum of 15.5 % by day 295. No individual metabolite, with the exception of M01, was >5 % of the total applied radioactivity. - Details on results:
- Volatile compounds remained low throughout the study with 14CO2 levels between 0.0 and 1.0%, and organic volatiles between 0.0 and 0.5% of the total applied radioactivity.
- Conclusions:
- The DT50 and DT90 of Spirodiclofen under anaerobic conditions in a Fresno, CA sediment-water system was determined to be 11.5 and 38.2 days, respectively.
- Executive summary:
Over the course of the study, radioactive residues in water increased from 5.1 % of the applied radioactivity at day 0 to 80.0 % at day 56 and then remained relatively constant (between 79.3 and 82.8 % of the applied radioactivity) through day 365. The opposite trend was observed in the sediment where the radioactive residues decreased from an average of 93.4 % at day 0 to 20.1 % by day 56, and then gradually declined to 15.3 % by day 365. The large quantity of radioactive residues present in the sediment at day 0 was indicative of the extremely low water solubility of Spirodiclofen and its rapid partitioning from the water , where it was applied, to the sediment. The shifting of radioactive residues from the sediment to the water, as the study progressed, was a result of Spirodiclofen degrading to a more water soluble metabolite, Spirodiclofen-enol (M01). Unextractable bound residues increased from an average of 1.5 at day 0 to 3.6 % by day 365. Volatile compounds remained low throughout the study with 14CO2 levels between 0.0 and 1 %, and organic volatiles between 0.0 and 0.5 % of the total applied radioactivity. The concentration of Spirodiclofen in the entire system declined from 93.2 % at day 0 to 0 % at day 365. The calculated half-life for the degradation of the parent compound was 11.5 days using first
order linear regression kinetic calculations. The DT90 was calculated to be 38.2 days.

Anglerweiher water-sediment: The major transformation product detected in water was Spirodiclofen-Enol which reached a maximum concentration of 87.3% of the applied amount at study termination. The major transformation product detected in sediment was Spirodiclofen–Enol which reached a maximum mean concentration of 15.5% of the applied amount at study termination. No minor transformation product comprised >2.8% of the applied radioactivity in either the sediment or the water. The total unidentified radioactivity in water and sediment was <3.5% of the applied amount at all intervals. No sterile treatments were used or required for the current study - Conclusions:
- For Spirodiclofen in the Hönniger pond system, the DT50 in water and in the total system were 0.5 and 4.5 days, respectively. For Spirodiclofen in the Anglerweiher water-sediment system, the DT50 in water and in the total system were 0.9 and 3.7 days, respectively. The DT50 for Spirodiclofen in either sediment was not determined, but this value should be similar to that observed in the total system since the majority of the Spirodiclofen partitioned into sediment during the first day of incubation.
- Executive summary:
The aerobic biotransformation of [dihydrofuranone-3-14C]Spirodiclofen was studied in two different pond water/sediment systems. One system was from Hönniger pond (water pH 7.7, dissolved organic carbon 1.5 to 4.4%; sediment texture sandy loam silt, pH 5.9, organic carbon 4.04%; Wipperürth, Germany) which had a strong current through the pond system, and the second system was from Anglerweiher (water pH 7.8, dissolved organic carbon 2.3 to 7.3%; sediment texture silty sand, pH 6.4, organic carbon 0.95%; Leverkusen, Germany). Both studies were conducted for 110 days in the dark at 20 ± 1ºC. [dihydrofuranon-3-14C]Spirodiclofen was applied at the rate of 0.05 mg a.i./L. The sediment/water ratio used was 1:9. The experiment was conducted in accordance with the BBA Guidelines for Official Testing of Plant Protectants (references 1 and 2 in section V of this DER), EC Commission Directive 95/36/EC (ref 3 in section V), and the SETAC Procedures for Assessing the Environmental Fate and Ecotoxicity of Pesticides (ref 4 in section V), and in compliance with the OECD-GLP standards. The test system consisted of 1000-mL glass vessels equipped with a overhead stirrer which stirred only the water layer. The system had traps attached for the collection of CO2 and organic volatile compounds. Samples were analysed at 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 59, 100, and 110 days of incubation. Initially, the water samples were acidified, diluted with ACN and extracted with dichloromethane. However, the initial solvent extraction procedure produced an artifact from the major degradate, and the formation of this artifact was confirmed in a supplementary study using both test systems where the water layer was analyzed directly without extraction (i.e., the artifact was not detected in the direct analyses). The sediment layer was extracted with acetonitrile followed by acetonitrile/buffer mixtures. The [dihydrofuranon-3-14C]Spirodiclofen residues were analyzed by reverse phase TLC using autoradiography obtained via a bio-imaging analyzer. A second TLC system and LC/MS was used for confirmation of the major degradate, Spirodiclofen-Enol.

VOLATILIZATION: Hönniger water-sediment: At the end of the study, 2.6 and 0% of the recovered radioactivity was present as 14CO2 and organic volatile compounds, respectively. No sterile treatments were used or required for the current study. Anglerweiher water-sediment: At the end of the study, 2.4 and 0.1% of the recovered radioactivity was present as 14CO2 and organic volatile compounds, respectively. No sterile treatments were used or required for the current study.
TRANSFORMATION PATHWAY: The major biotransformation pathway for [dihydrofuranon-3-14C]Spirodiclofen in the aerobic water-sediment system is rapid hydrolysis to Spirodiclofen-Enol. Spirodiclofen-Enol was relatively stable in the water-sediments systems, but there was some degradation to CO2 and bound residues (see Figure below).
SUPPLEMENTARY STUDY- RESULTS: The supplementary study, performed in both the Hönniger and Anglerweiher test systems, analyzed the water layer directly without any sample processing (unlike the main study). The only product observed in the water layer from this study was Spirodiclofen-Enol which clearly demonstrated that a second transformation product found in the main study was actually an artifact formed from the Enol during processing. Thus, for quantitation in the main study, the amount of artifact produced during processing was added to the amount of Enol observed to give a total amount for the Enol.

System | Regression equation | R2 | DT50 (days) | DT90 (days) |
water | y = 1.5546 - 0.6310 (x)** | 0.9626 | 0.5 | 1.6 |
sediment | not calculated* | - | <=4.5 | <14.9 |
entire system | y = 1.9599 - 0.0672 (x)** | 0.9935 | 4.5 | 14.9 |
** The data provided by the regression analysis (see ref. 11 in this DER) provides a slope that can only be converted to a rate as follows. The rate (k which is -0.6310) in the table above is transformed to a DT50 using DT50 = log (0.5) ÷ k. For the current example, this would be calculated as follows: DT50 = -0.301÷-0.6310 or 0.477 days which rounds to 0.5 days. For the DT90, the calculation is as follows: DT90 = log (0.1) ÷ -0.6310 or 1.58 days which rounds to 1.6 days.
* The DT50 and DT90 for the parent in sediment should be less than those determined for the total system

Description of key information
BIODEGRADATION IN WATER
In an aerobic aquatic degradation and metabolism study, spirodiclofen was tested in two different systems. In the Hönniger pond system, the DT50 in water and in the total system were 0.5 and 4.5 days, respectively. Whilst in the Anglerweiher water-sediment system, the DT50 in water and in the total system were 0.9 and 3.7 days, respectively. The DT50 for spirodiclofen in either sediment was not determined, but this value should be similar to that observed in the total system since the majority partitioned into sediment during the first day of incubation.
Results are presented as the mean of the two measurements.
The half-life in freshwater was converted from 0.7 d at 20°C to 1.49 d at 12°C and for freshwater-sediment from 4.1 d at 20°C to 8.7 d at 12°C (using Arrhenius equation).
BIODEGRADATION WHOLE SYSTEM
The DT50 and DT90 of spirodiclofen under anaerobic conditions in a Fresno, CA sediment-water system was determined to be 11.5 and 38.2 days at 20°C, respectively. The half-life of 11.5 d at 20°C was converted to 24.41 d at 12°C (using Arrhenius equation).
