12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: An aerobic biodegradation study using gram-negative asporogenous rod bacterium isolated from soil by enrichment on triethylene glycol exhibited borderline growth (scarcely detectable growth, not reproducible) with diethylene glycol diethyl ether(1). In a screening study using a sewage seed, diethylene glycol diethyl ether (concentration not specified) had a 10 day BOD of 0.10 g/g (4.2% theoretical BOD) at 20 deg C(2). Diethylene glycol diethyl ether had a 21.7% COD removal at 30 deg C from a starting concentration of 600 mg COD/L (time period not given) indicating little degradation compared to 95% degradation of ethylene glycol monophenyl ether(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for diethylene glycol diethyl ether(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.39(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(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of diethylene glycol diethyl ether is estimated as 39(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.39(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that diethylene glycol diethyl ether is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 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.
