SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 30,500(SRC), determined from an estimated log Kow of 5.71(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Although no dissociation constant was located for this chemical, structurally similar compounds have pKa values in the range of 3-5(4), indicating that this compound will exist primarily as an anion in moist soils and anions have higher mobility than the neutral species(SRC). Volatilization of 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) since the anion will not volatilize and the neutral species has an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(5). 2,6-Dinitro-4-octylphenol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its estimated vapor pressure of 1X10-8 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC) determined from a fragment constant method(6).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 30,500(SRC), determined from an estimated log Kow of 5.71(2,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Although no dissociation constant value was located for this chemical, structurally similar compounds have pKa values in the range of 3-5(4), indicating that this compound will exist primarily as an anion in water surfaces. Volatilization of 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) since the anion will not volatilize and the neutral species has an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(5). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 12,900(SRC), from an estimated log Kow(2,) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high.|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 1X10-8 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 40 hours(SRC) from its estimated rate constant of 9.7X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec(3). Particulate-phase 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Nitrophenols exhibit strong absorption of UV light at wavelengths greater than 290 nm(4), suggesting that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol has the potential to undergo direct photolysis in the environment(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 9.7X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 40 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 2,6-Dinitro-4-octylphenol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(2). Nitrophenols exhibit strong absorption of UV light at wavelengths greater than 290 nm(3), suggesting that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol has the potential to undergo direct photolysis in the environment(SRC). Although no dissociation constant value was located for this chemical, structurally similar compounds have pKa values in the range of 3-5(4), indicating that this compound will exist primarily as an anion inthe environment(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 12,900 was calculated for 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 5.71(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high.

The Koc of 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is estimated as approximately 30,500(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 5.71(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is expected to be immobile in soil. Although no dissociation constant value was located for this chemical, structurally similar compounds have pKa values in the range of 3-5(4), indicating that this compound will exist primarily as an anion in moist soils and anions have higher mobility than the neutral species(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is estimated as 6X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2,6-dinitro-4-octylphenol is not expected to volatilize from moist soil or water surfaces(2). 2,6-Dinitro-4-octylphenol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 1X10-8 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3). Although no dissociation constant value was located for this chemical, structurally similar compounds have pKa values in the range of 3-5(4), indicating that this compound will exist primarily as an anion in moist soils and water surfaces(SRC).
