or NaFA) were examined for micro-organisms capable of defluorinating this animal poison. Species of
Pseudomonas and Fusarium capable of growth on NaFA were isolated whilst many other soil bacteria and
fungi exhibited defluorinating activity when grown on an alternative organic C source. It was concluded
that NaFA has a short biological half-life in the soils investigated.
Some NaFA-contaminated soils also contained species of the algae Chlorella and Chlamydomonas which
were unaffected by NaFA but growth of a duck weed, Spirodela oligorrhiza, was inhibited 73% in the
presence of 5 µΜ−NaFA.

Abstract: The toxic effects of fluoroacetate (Nafa) and fluoride (NaF) upon three different species of
duckweed have been compared. Duckweeds proved far more sensitive to Nafa than to NaF; the frond
multiplication rate being halved by 0.5mM Nafa compared to 10mM NaF. The frond multiplication rate
was proportional to the logarithm of the Nafa concentration, whereas it was linearly related to NaF
concentration. Our results suggest that duckweeds could beused as a sensitive bioassay system, and their
potential as an indicator of pollution of ponds and streams by Nafa is being investigated.

pest control operations. Water and wastes in NZ 96, 22.
Keywords: persistence in water/1080
Abstract: The results suggested that significant or prolonged contamination after using 1080 for pest control
is highly unlikely, if care is taken to avoid watercourses when aerially sowing 1080 bait.

Keywords: metabolism/persistence in water/1080/fluorocitrate
Abstract: Using a method developed for the analysis of fluorocitrate in water, it is shown that fluorocitrate
is product of 1080 degradation, but is rapidly degraded and due to its lower oral toxicity compared with
1080, it is more important to monitor 1080 residues than fluorocitrate after a possum control operation
using 1080 bait.

Abstract: The utility of serum citrate as a peripheral indicator of toxicity was tested as a possible
investigational probe for compounds which inhibit citrate metabolism. Fluoroacetate (FA) and its putative
toxic metabolite, fluorocitrate (FC), were given to rats and dogs in a series of studies. In rats 3mg/kg FA
