Physical & Safety Data
Physical Properties
Light brown viscous liquid. Specific gravity 1.192 at 20°C. Vapor pressure 1.92 x 10-2 Pa at 25°C, (1.44 x 10-4 mmHg).
Toxicology
Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for male rats 2077, female rats 1369 mg/kg. Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀for rabbits >2000 mg/kg. Practically non-irritating to eyes (rabbits). Inhalation: LC₅₀ (4 h) for rats 4.8 mg/l. Phytotoxicity:Foliar contact or vapours may cause visual symptoms of chlorosis to nearby sensitive plants. ADI:(JMPR) 0.02 mg/kg b.w. [1986].
Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology: 
Algae:EC₅₀ (48 h) 2.10 mg/l.Birds:Acute oral LD₅₀ for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >2510 mg/kg. LC₅₀(8 d) for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >5620 ppm.Daphnia:LC₅₀ (48 h) 5.2 mg/l.Fish:LC₅₀ (96 h) for bluegill sunfish 34, Atlantic silverside 6.26, rainbow trout 19 mg/l.Worms:LC₅₀ (14 d) for Eisenia foetida 156 mg/kg.Other aquatic spp.:LC₅₀ for pink shrimp 8.9, eastern oyster 5.3 mg/l. 
Environmental fate: 
Soil: DT₅₀ in soil c. 30-135 d. K_oc 150-562, suggesting clomazone would be mobile in soil; however, in field trials it was found not to leach beyond the top 10 cm of soil (J. Rosenwald et al). WATER SOLUBILITY: 1100 ppm
