Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Information is not available regarding the biodegradation potential of 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzene; however, 33% percent of structurally-related o-phenylenediamine was removed over 120 hours based on chemical oxygen demand measurements and using an activated sludge inoculum(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzene(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.88(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 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzene is estimated as 72(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.88(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 4-nitro-1,2-diaminobenzene is expected to have high mobility in soil. However, aromatic amines are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(4), suggesting that mobility may be much lower in some soils(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.
