Persistence and degradability
Four pure cultures of bacteria, isolated from either soil or activated sludge, were unable to utilize 1,2-dimethoxyethane as a carbon source(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 0.4 was calculated for 1,2-dimethoxyethane(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.21(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will be low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 1,2-dimethoxyethane is estimated as approximately 18(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.21(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,2-dimethoxyethane has very high mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
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.
