12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 2-Aminoethanol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 49.2% (nitrogen dioxide end product)and 93.6% (ammonia end product) of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 ppm in the Japanese MITI test(1). 2-Aminoethanol achieved 91.8% biodegradation after 28 days in a OECD Guideline 301B Sturm Test and 93.4% after 22 days in a Sealed vessel test(2). 2-Aminoethanol, present at 10 ppm, reached 34% of its theoretical BOD in 5 days and 40% of its theoretical BOD in 20 days using a sewage inoculum(3). Other screening studies using a sewage inoculum gave similar results: 2.5 ppm test concentration, 5 day, 61-84% theoretical BOD(4); test concentration not specified, 10 day, 65% theoretical BOD(5); test concentration not specified, 5 day, 71% theoretical BOD, and 98% COD removal(6); 2.5 ppm test concentration, 5, 10, 20 and 50 days - 0, 58.4, 64, 75% theoretical BOD, respectively(7). In a Modified OECD Screening test, 2-aminoethanol, present at 20 mg/L, achieved 94% after 28 days using fresh inoculum and 99% after 28 days using preconditioned inoculum. In the Modified Sturm tests, 2-aminoethanol reached 97% DOC and 92% of its theoretical CO2 in 28 days using fresh inoculum; the compound also reached 96% DOC and 62% of its theoretical CO2 after 28 days using preconditioned inoculum(8). Using an activated sludge inoculum and the Closed Bottle, CO2 Evolution, and MITI tests, 2-aminoethanol starting concentrations of 7.64, 25.4, 76.4, and 100 mg/L exhibited 64.4, 91.4, and 71.2% O2 consumption, respectively, after 28 days; all tests had a lag time of approximately 5 days(9). Using an activated sludge inoculum and the Manometric Respirometry test, 2-aminoethanol starting concentration of 76.4 mg/L exhibited 83.0% O2 consumption, after 28 days with a lag time of approximately 5 days(9).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated in fish for 2-aminoethanol(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.31(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). [
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of 2-aminoethanol is estimated as 0.59(SRC), using a log Kow of -1.31(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-aminoethanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Adsorption can be affected by the acidity of the soil(SRC). The pKa of 2-aminoethanol is 9.5(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
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.
