| Popis: | Butoxyethyl esters (BEE) of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid (di-chlorprop or 2,4-DP) are base chemicals manufactured by Rhone-Poulenc Agriculture, Mississauga, Ontario, for formulating Weedone CB. This product is a selective post-emergent herbicide used for the control of broadleaf vegetation. The use of Weedone CB for forestry conifer release and industr ia l r ights-of-way programs in coastal B r i t i sh Columbia may resul t in the accidental introduction of BEE of 2,4-D and 2,4-DP into waterbodies inhabited by anadromous f ish . The aim of th is study was to evaluate the acute t o x i c i t y of BEE of 2,4-D and 2,4DP, Weedone CB and i t s carr ier to juvenile salmonids of the Pacif ic Northwest. |
