SECTION 12: Ecological information
12.1 Toxicity
- Toxicity to fish: no data available
- Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50 - Daphnia magna - 15.7 mg/L - 48 h.
- Toxicity to algae: EC50 - Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum) - 12.3 mg/L - 72 h.
- Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available
12.2 Persistence and degradability
Using the MITI Test, 30 mg/l of bromobenzene was innoculated with 100 mg/l activated sludge. After an incubation period of four weeks, a theoretical BOD of 0 percent was obtained(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
When exposed to 50 ug/l of bromobenzene, the experimental BCF in carp ranged from 8.8 to 34. When exposed to 5 ug/l of bromobenzene, the experimental BCF in carp ranged from 12 to 33(1). The experimental BCF in algae (Chlorella fusca) was 190 for one day. The experimental BCF for the fish golden ide (Leuciscus idus melanotus) was determined to be 50 after three days(2). Concentration of bromobenzene in the water for the algae and the golden ide was unreported(2). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms ranges from low to moderately high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of bromobenzene is estimated as approximately 268 (SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 2.99 (1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that bromobenzene has moderate 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.
