10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
IP itself burns only with difficulty.Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as INDENO(1,2,3-CD)PYRENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In a 240 day soil microcosm study, half-lives of 600, 730, and 630 days at 10, 20, and 30°C, respectively, were estimated for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene(1). Half-lives for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene ranged from 730 days, using a synthetic mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons applied and incubated together in Kidman sandy loam soil, to 139 days in a mixture of oil refinery wastes applied to Kidman sandy loam soil(2). A half-life of 288 days was observed for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene when applied and incubated as a single constituent in Kidman sandy loam soil(2). Biodegradation half-lives of 288 and 289 days were observed for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene in Kidman and McLaurin sandy loam soils, respectively(3). In soil-water slurry systems, with actual town gas soil, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene was biodegraded approx. 33% after 5 weeks incubation using a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon- acclimated mixed culture(4). In bench-scale biotreatability studies using a solid-phase bioremediation process (land farming chambers containing sediment and soil collected from the American Creosote Works Superfund site, Pensacola, FL), the indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene concentration was reduced from 29.7 to 29.2 mg/land farming chamber in unamended surface soil; 29.7 to 24.3 mg/land farming chamber in nutrient-amended surface soil; 67.8 to 54.0 mg/land farming chamber in unamended sediment; and 67.8 to 47.4 mg/land farming chamber in nutrient-amended sediment following 12 weeks incubation(5). In shake flask studies, an initial indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene concentration of 1.9 ug/mL was reduced to 0.9 ug/mL following 2 weeks incubation in contaminated groundwater from the American Creosote Works Superfund site, Pensacola, FL(6). Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene was removed up to 95% over 36 days in an activated sludge pilot reactor, 40-65% was attributed to biodegradation(7). After 60 days of batch slurry bioremediation, the initial solid-phase indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene concentration of 37 ug/g was reduced to 17.1 ug/g, a 53.8% removal(8).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 12,000 was calculated in fish for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 6.70(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). Polyaromatic hydrocarbons, including indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, have been shown to be rapidly metabolized by some aquatic organisms(3). A BCF of approximately 1X10+4 was measured in the amphipod Rhepoxynius abronius after 10 days exposure to indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene(4). The biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene determined using oligochaete worm (Lumbriculus variegatus) was 1.7 and 0.0094 in Lake Erie sediment from Vermilion, OH and Dunkirk, NY, respectively(5). The BSAF of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene was measured in polychaete (Nereis diversicolor) and gastropod (Hinia reticulata) exposed to sediment from three harbors in Norway at 0.0022-0.010 and 0.008-0.016(6).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene can be estimated to be 1.9X10+6(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene is expected to be immobile in soil. Log Koc values of 6.84 to 6.88 and 6.8 were determined for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene with dissolved and particulate organic material, respectively, from Lake Ketelmeer at 20°C(3). The log Koc value of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene measured in sediment from San Francisco Bay was 6.93(4). The log Koc values for indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene in 34 sediment samples was 5.78-8.82(5). [
