Effects of aquatic plants on the concentration of 1080 in water

I't supposed to break down reasonably fast in water BUT if you put a lot into a small volume of water it's going to make a nasty soup for some time... It's all about how much 1080 in what volume of water over what time period and a bunch of other factors.

So, if you eat the deer, that ate the plant that absorbed the 1080, do you get 1080 in you?

Possible but it all needs to happen fast. Again it's a how much over what time etc
