Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: 1,3-Dichlorobenzene at 100 mg/L exhibited 0% of its theoretical BOD using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L over a 4 week incubation period in the Japanese MITI test(1). Dichlorobenzene isomers were slowly biodegraded (6.3% of theoretical CO2 evolution in 10 weeks) in an alkaline soil sample(2).

Bioaccumulative potential

BCF values of 60 to 230 were measured in carp exposed to 100 ug/L of 1,3-dichlorobenzene during an 8 week incubation period and BCF values of 60 to 370 were measured in carp exposed to 10 ug/L of 1,3-dichlorobenzene during an 8 week incubation period(1). Mean 1,3-dichlorobenzene BCF values of 420 to 740 were experimentally determined for rainbow trout exposed up to 119 days in laboratory aquaria(2). A whole body BCF of 90 was determined for bluegill sunfish exposed to 1,3-dichlorobenzene over a 28-day period in a continuous flow system(3). According to a classification scheme(4), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate to high.

Mobility in soil

An experimental Koc value of 300(1) was determined for 1,3-dichlorobenzene in silt loam soil. According to a recommended classification scheme(3), these Koc values suggest that 1,3-dichlorobenzene has moderate to low mobility in soil. A log Koc value of 3.5 was reported for 1,3-dichlorobenzene in sediment obtained from the Ise Bay, Japan(2) and a log Koc value of 4.7 was measured from sediment of Lake Ketelmeer, Netherlands(4).
