Persistence and degradability
In a 2-week biodegradation screening test (MITI test) using 2-phenylethanol (100 ppm) and an activated sludge inoculum, 87% of BOD was removed(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF of 6 was estimated for 2-phenylethanol (SRC), using its log Kow of 1.36(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that 2-phenylethanol has a low potential for bioconcentration in fish and aquatic organisms(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using an estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 2-phenylethanol is estimated to be 29(SRC). According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that 2-phenylethanol will have very high mobility in soil(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.
