Section 12 - Ecological Information


Ecotoxicity: No data available. log Pow: 2.10
Environmental: Terrestrial Fate: In soils where exposure to the atmosphere can occur, volatilization is likely to be the dominant environmental fate process due to the high vapor pressure of bromodichloromethane. It's highly mobile in soil and can therefore leach into ground water and subsurface regions. Laboratory studie have indicated that significant biodegradation can occur under anaerobic conditions. Aquatic fate: Volatilization of bromodichlormoethane is the dominant removal mechanism from environmental surface waters.
Physical: No information available.
Other: Do not empty into drains.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations

Chemical waste generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous waste. US EPA guidelines for the classification determination are listed in 40 CFR Parts 261.3. Additionally, waste generators must consult state and local hazardous waste regulations to ensure complete and accurate classification.
