Metabolism of pentachloronitrobenzene-14C (Quintozene) in fish

Bioconcentration factors of some halogenated organics for rainbow trout: limitations in their use for prediction of environmental residues

“…) is known to be rapidly metabolized by fish (27) so the BCF for this compound is well below the eq 5 line.…”

Octanol/Water Partition Coefficients and Bioconcentration Factors of Chloronitrobenzenes in Rainbow Trout (Salmo Gairdneri)

“…Dietary absorption efficiencies of 0.24 to 0.27 determined for two chemicals are lower than other organic chemicals with similar physicochemical properties whose efficiencies are often in the 0.7 to 0.8 range [22]. PCNB was reported to be rapidly metabolized to pentachlorothioanisole by golden orf ( Idus idus), although no elimination rate was indicated [23]. Biomagnification would be minimal because of short half-life and low dietary absorption efficiency.…”

Octanol/water partition coefficients and bioconcentration factors of chloronitrobenzenes in rainbow trout (salmo gairdneri)

“…Low BCF values, rapid waterborne equilibrium within 5 d and low chemical retention 3 d after feeding a large dose would indicate the biological half-lives of most chloronitrobenzenes are less than several days in trout. PCNB was reported to be rapidly metabolized to pentachlorothioanisole by golden orf ( Idus idus), although no elimination rate was indicated [23].…”
