SECTION 12: Ecological information

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow Trout) weight 1 (0.3-2.9) g; Conditions: freshwater, static, 10.5 deg C, pH 8.2, hardness 340 mg/L CaCO3; Concentration: 75000 ug/L for 96 hr /formulated product
• 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: A 5-day theoretical BOD of 36.3% was observed for 2-octanol in a standard BOD dilution test using a mixed microbial inoculum(1). 2-Octanol was biodegraded 1.1, 2.9 and 2.7% in 6, 12 and 24 hours, respectively using activated sludge under aerobic conditions(2). First order rate constants for the biodegradation of 2-octanol using an activated sludge inoculum were measured as 1120 1/hour(3) and 388 1/hour(4). 2-Octanol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 76% of its theoretical BOD in 14 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(5).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 38 was calculated in fish for 2-octanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.90(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

12.4Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 2-octanol can be estimated to be 32(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-octanol 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.
