12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In a screening test designed to simulate biodegradation in a polluted river, the 5 day theoretical BOD for 2-pentanone was 43%(1). A 1.8% theoretical BOD was measured for 2-pentanone in an activated sludge inoculum over a 24 hour incubation period(2). 2-Pentanone was biodegraded by microorganisms isolated from soil and sludge(3).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 2-pentanone(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.91(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 2-pentanone is estimated as 75(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.91(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-pentanone is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
