12.2 Persistence and degradability
The biodegradability of org substances in wastewater by activated-sludge was determined. beta-hydroxynaphthoic acid was resistant to degradation.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
The BCF values of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid at water concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 mg/l were 6.7 or lower, measured in carp over an 6 week exposure period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCF values suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid is estimated as 1,100(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 3.05(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid is expected to have low mobility in soil. The pKa of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid is 2.79(4), indicating that this compound will exist as an anion in moist soils(SRC) and the mobility of anions is usually much greater than neutral species(5).
