12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: no data available
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Lauramine oxide, present at 100 mg/L, was 100% removed in 4 weeks as measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). An inherent biodegradability test using an activated sludge inoculum at 100 mg/L and lauramine oxide at 30 mg/L showed the compound to reach 88% of its theoretical total organic carbon in 4 weeks(1).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 0.7 was calculated for lauramine oxide(SRC), using a water solubility of 190,000 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

The Koc of lauramine oxide is estimated as 5.5(SRC), using a water solubility of 190,000 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that lauramine oxide is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning.
