12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 21.1 ppm 1-Chloro-2-nitrobenzene in Ohio River water inoculated weekly with settled sewage underwent no degradation in 175 days(1). 1-Chloro-2-nitrobenzene, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0 percent of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L and the Japanese MITI test(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Carp exposed to solutions containing 0.25 ppm 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene for 8 weeks had BCF values ranging from 7.0-20.8, and carp exposed to solutions containing 0.025 ppm 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene had BCF values ranging from 7.4-22.3(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene can be estimated to be 316(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
