SECTION 12: Ecological information
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio) - 50.2 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 201 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus) - 35 mg/L - 72 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage - > 100 mg/L - 3 h. Remarks:Respiration rate.
Persistence and degradability
Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane underwent 0% biodegradation using settled domestic wastewater as an inoculum; biodegradation remained at 0% through three subcultures. Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane was thus listed as being not biodegraded under the conditions of the method, the lowest of a three tier rating system(1,2). When the influent to a full scale activated sludge treatment system was spiked with 0.24 ug/l bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane, 60% of the pollutant was removed(3); however, it was not reported if removal was due to biodegradation or some other removal process(SRC).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated for bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane(SRC), using a water solubility of 7,800 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane is estimated as 32(SRC), using a water solubility of 7,800 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane is expected to have 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.
