A study of dimethyl hydrogen phosphite (DMHP) by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) indicated that chronic administration by oral gavage resulted in an increased incidence of neoplastic lesions in the lungs and forestomachs of Fischer 344 rats but not in B6C3F1 mice. The current study was designed to evaluate the metabolic basis, if any, of this species selectivity by studying the metabolism and disposition of carbon-14-DMHP in the respective strains of rats and mice. Results of this study indicate that DMHP administered at a range of dose of 10-200 mg/kg was readily and near completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tracts of rats and mice. DMHP-derived radioactivity was eliminated primarily as CO2 in the expired air, 44-57%, and urine, 28-49%, and very little was collected in feces, 1-2%, or as volatile organics, 2-3%. DMHP-derived radioactivity was widely distributed in tissues of rats and mice, with the highest concentrations observed in the liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, and forestomach, and the lowest in brain, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. The disappearance of radioactivity from mouse tissues was approximately twice as rapid as from rat tissues. In vitro, DMHP was metabolized to formaldehyde by the microsomal fractions of liver, lungs, kidneys, forestomach, and glandular stomach. In vivo, DMHP was metabolized to the product of demethylation, monomethyl hydrogen phosphite (MMHP), which was excreted in urine. Results of this study indicate that the NTP carcinogenicity study with DMHP was carried out within the dose range in which the absorption, metabolism, and disposition of DMHP are linear in both species. Apparent species-dependent differences in the metabolism and disposition of DMHP are limited to the more rapid metabolism and elimination by the mouse. Therefore, the species-dependent variations in the carcinogenicity of DMHP are most likely attributable to factors other than metabolism and disposition.

Reactivity
Decomposes rapidly on heating. This produces toxic fumes including phosphorus oxides and phosphine. Decomposes on contact with moist air above 220°C. This produces phosphoric acid and methanol. The solution in water is a strong acid. It reacts violently with bases and is corrosive. Reacts violently with acids and oxidants.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Dimethyl hydrogen phosphite, present at 100 mg/L, reached 48% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(1). However, biodegradation is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the hydrolysis of dimethyl hydrogen phosphite(2-5).
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the rapid hydrolysis of dimethyl hydrogen phosphite(1-4).
Mobility in soil
Adsorption to soils or suspended solids is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) due to the hydrolysis of dimethyl hydrogen phosphite(1-4).
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.
