SECTION 12: Ecological information
Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: LC50 - Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri) - 227 mg/L - 96 h.
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 380 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - > 456 mg/L - 72 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 - activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage - 310 mg/L - 30 min. Remarks:Respiration rate.
Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: When 1-nitropropane was incubated with activated sludge, 23.3% mineralization occurred in 5 days(1). During a closed bottle biodegradability test, using a municipal sewage plant effluent innoculum, 45% degradation of 1-nitropropane occurred within 28 days(1). Aerobic C14 studies performed with soil microorganisms resulted in 4.6% conversion to CO2 in 35 days(1). During this time 21.2% was lost as volatile products(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF value of 1.3 was measured for fish (Golden ide) in a static 3-day test with 1-nitropropane present at 50 ppb(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Bioconcentration of 1-nitropropane in algae (Chlorella fusca) was measured using (14)C-labelled 1-nitropropane at 50 ppb. The algae were irradiated for 24 hours; 92.9% of the radioactivity was present in solution, 1.7% of the radioactivity was associated with the algae(1). A bioconcentration factor of 180 for algae was calculated from this experiment(1).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 1-nitropropane is estimated as 71(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.87(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-nitropropane is expected to have high mobility in soil. The pKa of 1-nitropropane is 8.98(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
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.
