Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Phenylacetic acid, as the source of carbon, was readily biodegraded using an unadapted mixed culture (soil suspension): primary degradation was 100 percent in 2 days (in mixture), primary degradation was 100 percent in three days (by GLC), and total degradation was 90 percent in about 3 days (by dissolved organic carbon measurement)(1). Oxygen consumption was approximately 6 ug/mL after six days when phenylacetic acid was degraded in Hudson Collamer silt loam(2).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for phenylacetic acid(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.41(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
Koc values of 31, 26, and 28 were experimentally determined for phenylacetic acid in three specific soils: a Podzol (pH = 2.8, sand = 89.2%, silt = 8.2%, and clay = 2.6%), an alfisol (pH = 6.7, sand = 69.7%, silt = 14.4%, and clay = 15.9%) and sediment from Lake Constance (pH = 7.1, sand = 5.5%, silt = 58.8%, and clay = 35.7%), respectively(1). According to a recommended classification scheme(2), these Koc values suggest that phenylacetic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of phenylacetic acid is 4.31(3), indicating that this compound will primarily exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not 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.
