• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 0.71 mg/L - 48 h.

• Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge - 3 301 mg/L - 3 h. Remarks:Respiration rate.

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Several biodegradation studies with 2-mercaptobenzothiazole using an activated sludge seed inoculum indicate little or no biodegration(1-4). 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole, present at 100 mg/L, reached only 2.5% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test indicating the compound is not readily biodegradable(1). It has been suggested that at the concentrations used in these studies, 56-100 ppm, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is toxic to the microorganisms in the sludge(5). A more detailed study indicated that inhibitory effects occur between 20 and 50 ppm of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole(5). When the sludge is well acclimated and the concentrations low enough, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole may completely biodegrade forming 2-benzothiazolesulfonate or dibenzothiazole-2,2-disulfide, depending on conditions(5). In a screening test comparable to OECD Method 301B (CO2 evolution), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, present at 17-18 mg/L, reached only 1-5% degradation after 35 days of incubation which classified the compound as not inherently biodegradable(6). Another CO2 evolution study determined <1% degradation after 28 days using adapted activated sludge and an initial 2-mercaptobenzothiazole concentration of 23.8 mg/L(6). Partial degradation of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was found in laboratory-scale fed-batch systems using activated sludge inoculum taken from rubber chemicals wastewater treatment plants(6).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

A BCF of <8 was measured in fish for 2-mercaptobenzothiazole(SRC), using carp (Cyprinus carpio) which were exposed over a 6-week period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

The Koc of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was measured as 677, 326 and 1360 in California sandy loam, California clay loam and California sandy soil respectively(1). The Koc of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was measured as 2130, 3560 and 2590 in three different sediments(1). The Koc of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was measured as 915, 863, 1429 and 1829 in Drummer silty clay loam, Spinks sandy loam, Ray silt loam and Lintonia sandy loam soil respectively(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these estimated Koc values suggest that 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is expected to have moderate to slight mobility in soil. The pKa of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is 7.03(1), indicating that this compound will exist partially in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(3).

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. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
