Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Using the Warburg test which employs activated sludge, 1-octadecanol gave a theoretical oxygen demand of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.3 percent in 6, 12, and 24 hours(1). However, using an acclimated mixed shake flask culture with incremental substrate addition of 1-octadecanol, biomass yield reached 54.5 percent after seven days(2). Given sufficient time in contact with adapted microbial species under conditions otherwise non-limiting, the complete disappearance of 1-octadecanol as identifiable molecular species will occur(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 2.8X10+4 was calculated for 1-octadecanol(SRC), using an experimental water solubility of 1.1X10-3 mg/L at 25 deg C(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of 1-octadecanol is estimated as 1.8X10+5(SRC), using a water solubility of 1.1X10-3 mg/L at 25 deg C(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-octadecanol is immobile in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects

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.
