12. Ecological Information

  • Environmental Fate: Product is unlikely to bio-concentrate in aquatic organisms and fish. Has low mobility in soil and may rapidly volatilize in the atmosphere.

  • Environmental Toxicity:
Aquatic Ecotoxicity of Individual Ingredients: Surfactants are potentially harmful to aquatic life CAS 7647-01-0: Trout LC100 = 10 mg/L/24H, shrimp LC50=100 to 330 ppm, Starfish LC50=100 to 330 mg/L/48 H, Shore crab LC50 = 240 mg/L/48 H, Chronic plant toxicity = 100 ppm, fish toxicity LC50 = 862 mg/L. / CAS# 2634-33-1, 1,2 benzisothiazolin-3-one (<1%) is VERY toxic to aquatic organisms (Fish, LC50, 4 days exposure = 1.0 - 3.3 ppm. Crustaceans (Daphnia magna) EC50 immobilization = 2 days exposure 0.85 ppm.

  • Biodegradability: CAS# 2634-33-1 will biodegrade by 81.9% within 20 days. Modified OECD screening tests indicate that surfactants, CAS# 110615-47-9 & 6815-83-1 exceed the 70% dissolved oxygen content requirement for classification as "readily biodegradable". Their ready emulsification of petroleum hydrocarbons and related oils makes this formula that much more suitable for applications involving bioremediation of leaking storage tanks, containing crude petroleum-oil or fuel oils. Surfactants AND polluted soil will biodegrade simultaneously, as long as adequate levels of supplemental nitrogen, ortho-phosphate are provided to balance the high level of organic carbon present in TPH and these two biodegradable surfactants. Consider Alken® Bio-Nutrient™ 3 or 4 as a source of ammonia-nitrogen and ortho-phosphate

13. Disposal Considerations

 RCRA Hazard Class (if discarded): Neat, unused product is not considered a hazardous waste, according to RCRA regulations 40 CFR 261. . For proper disposal of used materials, an assessment must be completed to determine the proper waste management options permissible under applicable rules, regulations and/or laws governing client's location. Use until less than 1 inch remains in the container, triple rinse with clean water, and pour rinse water to sewer. Then remove or deface product label to avoid confusion if pail or drum is later refilled. Clean, empty containers should be recycled or disposed of through an approved waste management facility.
