SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Solvent Yellow 33 and a Solvent Green 3 mixture (30:70 mixture of Solvent Yellow 33 and Solvent Green 3) were not acutely toxic to seven of nine freshwater species when tested at the solubility limits of the dyes in freshwater. A solubility limit solution of the Solvent Green 3 mixture killed 50% of the rainbow trout tested for 96 hr but was non-toxic when diluted by 50%. Both dyes caused a reduction in green algal growth at solubility limits. The Solvent Green 3 mixture was the most detrimental causing a 98-99% reduction in growth after 5 days of exposure.

D&C Green No. 6's production and use in coloring fats, oils, waxes, hydrocarbon solvents, hydrocarbon-base wood stains, cellulose acetate, polystyrene and soap, in the preparation of oleic or stearic rotogravure inks(1) and for sutures(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Its use in smoke formulations for military communication grenades(3) will result in its direct release to the environment(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 4.8X10+6(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that D&C Green No. 6 is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of D&C Green No. 6 from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). D&C Green No. 6 is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-13 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4). D&C Green No. 6 was shown to be susceptible to photolysis on soil, with two photoproducts detected, not identified(5). Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2011).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 4.8X10+6(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that D&C Green No. 6 is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 500(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 8.69(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high, provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2011).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), D&C Green No. 6, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-13 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase D&C Green No. 6 may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). D&C Green No. 6 absorbs light at wavelengths 644 nm(3), and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

D&C Green No. 6 is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(1). D&C Green No. 6 absorbs light at wavelengths 644 nm(2), and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). The compound is susceptible to photodegradation depending on the surrounding conditions(3). D&C Green No. 6 was shown to be susceptible to photolysis on soil, with two photoproducts detected, not identified(4).

An estimated BCF of 500 was calculated in fish for D&C Green No. 6(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 8.69(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of D&C Green No. 6 can be estimated to be 4.8X10+6(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that D&C Green No. 6 is expected to be immobile mobility in soil.

The Henry's Law constant for D&C Green No. 6 is estimated as 1.5X10-16 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that D&C Green No. 6 is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water and moist soil surfaces(2). D&C Green No. 6 is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-13 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 55,064 workers (41,703 of these were female) were potentially exposed to D&C Green No. 6 in the US(1). Occupational exposure to D&C Green No. 6 may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where D&C Green No. 6 is produced or used. Use data indicate that the general population may be exposed to D&C Green No. 6 via dermal contact with consumer products containing D&C Green No. 6(SRC).

The respiratory tract deposition, distribution in tissues, metabolism, and excretion of solvent yellow (2-(2'-quinolinyl)-1,3-indandione) were examined in rats after inhalation of (14)C labeled solvent yellow aerosols at 160 nanomoles/liter (nmol/L) solvent yellow in air. Solvent green (1,4-di-p-toluidinoanthraquinone) was also studied. The study was conducted using F344-rats exposed to solvent yellow aerosols or to a mixture of solvent yellow and solvent green (340nmol and 370nmol, respectively) for 60 minutes. Solvent yellow exhibited a half life of 2 to 3 hr, and was thus rapidly cleared from the respiratory tract after either exposure. A minimum estimated half life of 22 days was achieved for the retention of solvent green in the respiratory tract. Samplings of other tissues during the 70hr postexposure period did not indicate the presence of solvent green. A total of 40 to 75 percent of the (14)C present in liver and kidney after either exposure was shown by high pressure liquid chromatography to be metabolites of solvent yellow. The feces proved to be the major pathway for excretion of solvent yellow and its metabolites, accounting for 74 percent of the initial body burden. The excretion half life was 14hr. Fourteen percent of the initial body burden was excreted in the urine with this half life being 10hr. Solvent yellow metabolites accounted for over 90 percent of the (14)C excreted in the urine. Only about 2 percent of the solvent yellow was metabolized to carbon dioxide. Only 10 percent of the initial (14)C deposited in the body remained there after 72hr. ...|In a study on the retention of solvent green 3 in the lungs, rats were given a suspension containing the dye. The authors observed that 87% of the initial dose remained in the lungs 24 hr after exposure.

A minimum estimated half life of 22 days was achieved for the retention of solvent green in the respiratory tract. ... The difference in the clearance times for solvent yellow and solvent green are possibly due to the different lipid solubilities of the dyes.|When inhaled, solvent green 3 clears very slowly from the lung (half live, 280 days).

9,10-Anthracenedione, 1,4-bis[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-: ACTIVE|Color additives were initially regulated in the United States under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Bureau of Chemistry. In 1906, the Food and Drugs Act was passed by Congress, which prohibited the use of poisonous or deleterious colors in confectionery and the coloring or staining of food to conceal damage or inferiority. In 1927, responsibility of the Food and Drugs Act was transferred to FDA. Increasing government oversight, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) was passed in 1938 and established the three following categories for colors: FD&C: colors used in foods, drugs and cosmetics; D&C: colors used in drugs and cosmetics when in contact with mucous membranes or ingested; and Ext. D&C: colors used in products applied externally.
