Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In Warburg tests using an unacclimated activated sludge inoculum, linoleic acid, present as the sodium salt, was observed to biodegrade with half-lives of 30, 20, and 13 hours at 20, 25, and 30 deg C, respectively(1). Linoleic acid, present at a concentration of 500 mg/L, reached 9.3, 14.6, and 24.2% of its theoretical BOD after 6, 12, and 24 hours, respectively(2). Linoleic acid was readily oxidized by three sludges obtained from treatment plants located near Columbus, OH(3). The average concentration of linoleic acid in the primary influent, 4.3 ppm, was reduced to an average of 0.44 ppm in the final effluent of an oxygen activated sludge treatment system(4). Linoleic acid, present at an average concentration of 0.75 ppm in the primary influent of an oxygen activated sludge treatment system was reduced to an average concentration of 0.08 ppm in the effluent(4). An activated sludge treatment system reduced the average linoleic acid influent concentration of 0.84 ppm to <0.02 ppm in the effluent(4). Linoleic acid, present at 100 mg/L, reached 80-100% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which classified the compound as readily biodegradable(5).

Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 56 was calculated in fish for linoleic acid(SRC), using a log Kow of 7.05(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC), although it occurs in bile samples of fish at concentrations ranging from <1 to 520 ug/g(4).

Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of linoleic acid can be estimated to be 1.2X10+4(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that undissociated linoleic acid is expected to be immobile mobility in soil. The pKa of linoleic acid is 4.77(3), indicating that this compound will exist primarily in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).

Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Disposal methods

Product

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.

Contaminated packaging

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.
