12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Movement & Partitioning: Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or Log Kow
less than 3). Log octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) is -1.36. Henry's Law Constant
(H) is 6.0E-08 atm-m3/mol. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) is 10 in golden orfe.
Degradation & Transformation: Biodegradation under aerobic static laboratory conditions is
high (BOD20 or BOD28/ThOD greater than 40%). 5-Day biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD5) is 0.78 p/p. 10-Day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD10) is 1.06 p/p. 20-Day
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD20) is 1.15 p/p. Theoretical oxygen demand (THOD) is
calculated to be 1.29 p/p. Biodegradation may occur under both aerobic and anaerobic
conditions (in either the presence or absence of oxygen). Inhibitory concentration (IC50) in
OECD "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test" (Guideline # 209) is < 1000 mg/L.
Degradation is expected in the atmospheric environment within days to weeks.
Ecotoxicology: Material is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis
(LC50 greater than 100 mg/L in most sensitive species). Acute LC50 for fathead minnow
(Pimephales promelas) is 51000 mg/L. Acute LC50 for bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is
27549 mg/L. Acute LC50 for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is about 18000-46000
mg/L. Acute LC50 for guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is 49300 mg/L. Acute LC50 for water flea
(Daphnia magna) is 46300-51100 mg/L. Acute LC50 for the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia is
10000-25800 mg/L. Acute LC50 for crayfish is 91430 mg/L. Acute LC50 for brine shrimp
(Artemia salina) is 20000 mg/L. Acute LC50 for Full force 50/50 Antifreeze 10 golden orfe
(Leuciscus idus) is greater than 10000 mg/L. Acute LC50 for goldfish (Carassius auratus) is
greater than 5000 mg/L. Growth inhibition EC50 for green alga Selenastrum capricornutum is
9500-13000 mg/L.
