12.2 Persistence and degradability
In an aerobic and discontinuous anaerobic study using sewage inoculum, fluchloralin yielded products in nonsterile sewage but not in sterile sewage which indicates a biological mechanism(1). Fluchloralin is reported to degrade much faster in aerobic loamy sand soil than in sterile soil(2). The field dissipation half-life of fluchloralin is reported to range from 60-75 days with a mean half-life of 67 days(3). The half-life of fluchloralin in a clay loam (4% sand, 25% silt, 71% clay, 4.2% organic matter) was 52 days at a soil moisture corresponding to the field capacity, but was only 8 days when the soil was flooded(4), suggesting degradation occurs more rapidly under anaerobic conditions(SRC).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF value of 733 was calculated for fluchloralin(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 5.07(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The adsorption of fluchloralin was studied in 10 different soils all consisting of varying amounts of sand, clay, silt, and organic matter(1). Soil adsorption (Kd) coefficients ranged from 1.4-17.1 with a mean value of 8.1(1). Koc values calculated from these soils ranged from 150-550(1,SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this range of Koc values suggest that fluchloralin has moderate to low 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.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
