12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Biodegradation rate constants and half-lives of 0.21 to 1.04/days and <1 to 3 days, respectively, were reported in river die away studies using unacclimated river water containing 0.1 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol(1). The biodegradation half-life of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol at an initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L was 1 to 2 days, in a sewage sludge(1). Activated sludge with an initial concentration of 0.5 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol had a biodegradation rate constant of 3.88/days and a half life of 0.18 days as measured by DOC loss(1). Ultimate biodegradation to CO2 and H2O using acclimated sewage and 20-30 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol, took slightly longer with a half-life of 7 to 23 days(1). o-Benzyl-p-chlorophenol undergoes rapid biodegradation after a short acclimation period in river water; o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L was 78% degraded aerobically after 8 days; first re-spike (0.1 mg/L) on day 8 with 90% removal after 2 days; second re-spike of 0.1 mg/L on day 10 with 100% removal by day 13(2). o-Benzyl-p-chlorophenol, 0.5 mg/L, added to natural domestic sewage was substantially degraded within one day; re-spiked (1.0 mg/L) with nearly 100% removal within one day(2). Acclimated activated sludge mixed liquor in a semicontinuous activated sludge unit (o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol concentration, 2.0 mg/L) gave complete removal of DOC (dissolved organic carbon) in 24 hours. Sludge from a semicontinuous activated sludge unit was used as inoculum (o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol, 20 mg/L); there was a one week lag period followed by CO2 evolution at 60% of the theoretical within 27 days(2). CO2 evolution was used as a test method in this experiment to ensure that degradation was due to microbial action(2).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

A BCF value of 75 was measured for bluegill sunfish(1). Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis machrochirus) were exposed to 0.057 mg/L o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol for a period of 96 hours followed by a depuration period of 96 hours to determine the ability of the fish to metabolize and eliminate o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol. Depuration rate constants were from 4.67 to 6.94/days with a half-life of 0.14 days(1). The rate constant of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol uptake in fish ranged from 11.8 to 13.8/days with a half-life of 0.06 days. According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

An experimentally determined Koc of 2050 was obtained by equilibrating aqueous solutions of o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol (at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 10 mg/L) with four different soils, with organic carbon contents ranging from 0.41 to 1.97%, and then analyzing both soil and water phases for o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol(1). According to a suggested classification scheme(2), this Koc value indicates that o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC).

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

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.

Contaminated packaging

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.
