no data available
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
A range of BCF values of 1.3 to 4.6 were measured for carp exposed to 2 ppm 2,4-diaminoanisole over the course of a 6 week incubation period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF range suggests 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 for 2,4-diaminoanisole can be estimated to be 53(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2,4-diaminoanisole is expected to have high mobility in soil. 2,4-Diaminoanisole is a weak base with an estimated pKa of 5.15(SRC), calculated by a method based on linear free energy relationships and perturbed molecular orbital theory(3). This estimated pKa indicates that 2,4-diaminoanisole will partially exist in the protonated form in acidic moist soils and cations generally adsorb to soils more strongly than their neutral counterparts(4). Moreover, anilines (aromatic amines) are expected to bind strongly to humus or organic matter in soils due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(5,6), suggesting that the mobility of 2,4-diaminoanisole may be much lower in some soils than indicated by the estimated Koc value(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.
