12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Linalool, present at 100 mg/L, reached 90% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which classified the compound as readily biodegradable(1). Using OECD Guideline 301 D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test) and a domestic, non-adapted sewage inoculum, linalool (2 mg/L) had a 5-day and a 28-day ThOD of 40.9 and 64.2% which classified the compound as readily biodegradable(2). Other aerobic screening tests have also found linalool to be readily biodegradable(3). Using various aerobic 28-day tests, 90-100% biodegradation of linalool was observed as evidenced by full primary degradation or very high mineralization as measured by BOD and TOC(3). Linalool, present at 400 mg DOC/L, biodegraded 26 and 100% in 3 hours and 13 days, respectively, using an activated sludge inoculum in the Zahn-Wellens test(3).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 42 was calculated in fish for linalool(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.97(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of linalool can be estimated to be 75(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that linalool is expected to have high mobility in soil.
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.
