Criteria now recommended for protection of various species include the following dietary loadings, in mg/kg FW ration, of <0.05 for human health, <0.05 for livestock, <1 for honey bees, and <5 for poultry seawater concentrations <0.1 pg/L for estuarine crustacean larvae and, for all aquatic life, restricted or prohibited use of diflubenzuron in saltmarsh mosquito breeding areas and on agricultural lands less than 5 km from coastal areas. No criteria are available or proposed for protection of avian and mammalian wildlife against diflubenzuron, probably because of an incomplete toxicological database.

However, as far as we know, the distribution of LAS biodegradation intermediates according to depth in the sediment column has been determined only in marine sediments [58]. This study was performed in a saltmarsh channel (Sancti Petri Channel, Cadiz Bay, Spain), receiving untreated urban wastewater effluents. In this zone the benthic organisms are very scarce [59], and the capacity for irrigation of...

The lability of organic S to oxidation and recycling is not understood. Short-chain thiols appear to be dynamically cycled in marine and saltmarsh sediments (120, 211). In contrast, sulfones may represent a stable oxidized product that could provide a useful signature of sediment oxygenation (121, 184). Sulfones have been identified in saltmarsh and ancient marine sediments (32, 207). Other (unidentified) forms of organic S appear to yield acidity and sulfate upon oxidation (38, 192). Much more research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of organic S fonnation and the relationships between specific organic S compounds and lake conditions.
