Endothall is used as an herbicide for both terrestrial and aquatic plants. It is used as an aquatic herbicide for submerged aquatic plants and algae in lakes, ponds and irrigation canals.〔("Herbicides against Hydrilla" ). ''Tompkins County NY website''.〕 It is used as a desiccant on potatoes, hops, cotton, clover and alfalfa. It is used as a biocide to control mollusks and algae in cooling towers. The chemical formula for endothall is C8H10O5. Its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) name is 7-oxabicyclo()heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic acid. Endothall is an organic acid but is used as the dipotassium salt or the mono-N,N-dimethylalkylamine salt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/endothall_red.pdf )〕 Endothall is considered safe in drinking water by the EPA up to a maximum contaminant level of 0.1 mg/L (100 ppb). Some people who drink water contaminated by endothall above the maximum contaminant level set by the EPA for many years may experience stomach or intestinal problems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/basicinformation/endothall.cfm )〕 == References == 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SL369/SS570: Aquatic Toxicology Notes: Endothall )〕 〔http://www.apms.org/japm/vol08a/v8p50.pdf〕 〔http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/plants/factsheets/EndothallFactsheet.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Endothall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
