Bioaccumulative potential
The estimated pKa of dextromehtorphan is 9.85(1), indicating that dextromethorphan will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, bioconcentration in fish is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of dextromethorphan can be estimated to be 2.3X10+4(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dextromethorphan is expected to be immobile in soil. The estimated pKa of dextromethorphan is 9.85(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally 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
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.
