SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to microorganisms: NOEC - activated sludge - > 1 000 mg/L - 3 h.

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: An aerobic biodegradation study using gram-negative asporogenous rod bacterium isolated from soil by enrichment on triethylene glycol exhibited borderline growth (scarcely detectable growth, not reproducible) with diethylene glycol diethyl ether(1). In a screening study using a sewage seed, diethylene glycol diethyl ether (concentration not specified) had a 10 day BOD of 0.10 g/g (4.2% theoretical BOD) at 20 deg C(2). Diethylene glycol diethyl ether had a 21.7% COD removal at 30 deg C from a starting concentration of 600 mg COD/L (time period not given) indicating little degradation compared to 95% degradation of ethylene glycol monophenyl ether(3).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol diethyl ether(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.39(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 diethylene glycol diethyl ether is estimated as 39(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.39(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol diethyl ether 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. 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.
