Bioaccumulative potential
BCF values ranged from 0.8 to <5.5 for carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to 1,2-benzenedicarbonitrile (0.02 and 0.2 mg/l, respectively) for 6 weeks(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 1,2-benzenedicarbonitrile is estimated as 82(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 0.99(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,2-benzenedicarbonitrile is expected to have 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.
