12.Ecological information
12.1Toxicity
12.2Persistence and degradability
1,5-Naphthalenediamine, present at 100 mg/l, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(1). No biodegradation data was located for 1,5-naphthalenediamine in soil or water(SRC).
12.3Bioaccumulative potential
A BCF of 1.5 was measured for carp exposed to 0.02 mg/l of 1,5-naphthalenediamine for 6 weeks(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for 1,5-naphthalenediamine can be estimated to be 5,000(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,5-naphthalenediamine is expected to have slight mobility in soil. The pKa of 1,5-naphthalenediamine is 4.44(3), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in the environment under acidic conditions and cations generally adsorb to organic carbon and clay more strongly than their neutral counterparts(4). Primary and secondary aromatic amines are also susceptible to strong irreversible binding to humic material due to the high reactivity of the aromatic amino group(5).
12.5Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1Disposal 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.
