Pyrithiones are widely used as bactericides, fungicides, or algicides in a variety of products such as shampoos, metal working fluids, adhesives, sealants, and coatings. This broad antimicrobial activity, along with low water solubility and favorable environmental chemistry, makes zinc pyrithione and copper pyrithione potentially ideal replacements for TBT in marine antifouling paints. Several studies on the toxicity and environ- • mental fate of these pyrithiones have been conducted in freshwater and saltwater systems. Environmental fate studies show that pyrithiones rapidly degrade in the water column to less toxic compounds. Sediment accumulation is also prevented by the facile reduction of a critical functional group under anaerobic conditions. Modeling programs were used to calculate the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) for pyrithione. Comparison of PECs calculated for more persistent antifoulants with actual measured concentrations provided a measure of the bias inherent to the models. The results indicate a pyrithione risk quotient (PEC/PNEC) < 1. The findings are consistent with the absence of ecological effects during the long history of the use of zinc pyrithione as an antidandruff agent. |
