- Toxicity to fish: LC50 Lepomis macrochirus (bluegill sunfish) 70 ug/L for 96 hr, static
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: LC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea, <24 hr old); Conditions: freshwater, static, 20 deg C, pH 8.2, hardness 250 mg/L CaCO3, dissolved oxygen >6.5 mg/L; Concentration: 6700 ug/L for 48 hr (95% confidence interval: 3200-10000 ug/L) />98% purity
- Toxicity to algae: no data available
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 10 ug/mL 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene inoculated with a mixed culture of microorganisms in soil was observed to be resistant to biodegradation (significant ring cleavage, as measured by UV absorbance, was not detected after 64 days)(1). 1-Chloro-4-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 0.15 ppm 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene for 8 weeks had BCF values ranging from 5.8-20.9, and carp exposed to solutions containing 0.015 ppm 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene had BCF values ranging from 7.5-18.1(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-4-nitrobenzene can be estimated to be 310(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
