Critical end-po<strong>in</strong>ts for sett<strong>in</strong>g guidance values of exposure for az<strong>in</strong>phos-methyl<br />

Absorption, distribution, excretion and metabolism <strong>in</strong> mammals<br />

Rate and extent of oral absorption<br />

Almost complete absorption. Maximum plasma concentration<br />

2–3 h after dos<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

Dermal absorption<br />

See previous az<strong>in</strong>phos-methyl monographs<br />

Distribution<br />

Extensive<br />

Potential for accumulation<br />

Low, no evidence of accumulation<br />
