12. Ecological Information
ECOTOXICITY:
Ethylene Glycol: LC50 Fathead Minnow <10,000 mg/L/96 hr.
EC50 Daphnia Magna 100,000 mg/L/48 hr.
Bacterial (Pseudomonas putida): 10,000 mg/l
Protozoa (Entosiphon sulcatum and Uronema parduczi; Chatton-Lwoff) : >10,000 mg/l
Algae (Microcystis aeruginosa): 2,000 mg/l
Green algae (Scenedesmus quandricauda) : >10,000 mg/l
Diethylene Glycol: LC50 western mosquitofish >32,000 mg/L/96 hr.
PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY:
Ethylene Glycol is readily biodegradable (97-100% in 2-12 days). Diethylene glycol is readily biodegradable (>70% in
19 days).
BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL:
Ethylene glycol: A BCF of 10, reported for ethylene glycol in fish, Golden ide (Leuciscus idus melanotus), after 3 days
of exposure suggests the potential for bio concentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Diethylene glycol: An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bio concentration in aquatic organisms is low.
MOBILITY IN SOIL: Ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol are highly mobile in soil.
OTHER ADVERSE EFFECTS: None known
13. Disposal Considerations
Dispose of product in accordance with all local, state/provincial and federal regulations.
