12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: While some investigators found clopyralid to be biodegradable in field soils(1-2), others found that the herbicide was relatively persistent in field soil(3). Thus the biodegradation of clopyralid appears to be soil dependent and the rate of biodegradation in soil may be enhanced both by higher temperature and higher number of organisms that are capable of degrading the herbicide(4). The half-lives of clopyralid in a clay, clay loam and sandy loam soil at 20°C and 85% field moisture capacity were estimated to be 38 days, 13 days and 36 days, respectively(4).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF of 19 was reported in fish for clopyralid in a flowing water test(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Koc values of 2(1), 4.6(2) and 0.4 to 12.9(3) have been reported. According to a classification scheme(4), these Koc values suggest that clopyralid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. However, many leachate studies have reported little or no clopyralid detected in the leachate(2,5-6). The pKa of clopyralid is 2.32(7), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely 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(8).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
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.
