12.2 Persistence and degradability
In one standard dilution test using non-acclimated sewage seed, 24 and 47% of the theoretical BOD was removed after 5 and 20 days, respectively, in fresh water, and 2 and 16%, respectively, in salt water(1). In a second standard dilution test using non-acclimated sewage seed, 0.6 and 17% BOD was removed in 5 days using fresh and salt water, respectively(2). The concentration of the ethylenediamine was 7 to 10 ppm in both studies(1,2). Using acclimated activated sludge, 97.5% COD was removed at a rate of 9.8 mg COD/g/hr (3), 67% of the theoretical BOD was removed in 5 days in a second study(4) and 36 and 70% of the theoretical BOD was removed in 5 and 20 days, respectively, in a third study(1). Ethylenediamine, at a concentration of 100 mg/l, showed a 93 to 95% theoretical BOD loss over a 28 day period in the Japanese MITI test using an activated sludge inoculum(5).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of less than 1 was calculated for ethylenediamine(SRC), using a log Kow of -2.04(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.
12.4 Mobility in soil
Ethylenediamine has two primary amine groups and at the pH range found in most soils it is expected to be partially protonated given a pKa1 of 10.7 and a pKa2 of 7.6(1). An average Koc of 4766 (range=2071 to 6160) was measured for ethylenediamine in six different soils; five were from the vadose zone and one from an aquifer (saturated zone)(2). pH values ranged from 6.0 to 9.6 and the fraction of organic carbon from 0.0024 to 0.0391 for this group of soils. Soils with increased cation exchange capacity and organic content had greater affinity for ethylenediamine(2).
12.5 Other adverse effects

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.
