12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: N,N-Diphenylamine, present at 30 mg/l, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge innoculum at 100 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
BCFs ranging from 101 to 242 and 51 to 253 (species unidentified) were measured using 0.1 and 0.01 mg/liter of N,N-diphenylamine, respectively, and a 8-week study period(1). According to a classification scheme(2), these BCFs suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of N,N-diphenylamine is estimated as 1,900(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.50(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that N,N-diphenylamine is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
