12.2 Persistence and degradability
PSEUDOMONAS DESMOLYTICUM HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO GROW ON & DEGRADE M-TERPHENYL.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 500 was calculated for m-terphenyl(SRC), using a measured water solubility of 1.51 mg/l(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration of m-terphenyl in aquatic organisms is high and may be an important fate process(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of m-terphenyl is estimated as approximately 3500(SRC), using an experimental water solubility of 1.51 mg/l(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that m-terphenyl has only slight mobility in soil(SRC).
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.
