12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: A first-order half-life of 75.4 days was measured for the degradation of radio-labeled folpet, applied at 10 ug/L to Georgia sandy loam soil. The degradation pattern was described to be biphasic, with rapid degradation occurring between days 0-14 and slower degradation occurring between days 14-365 post-treatment. The Environmental Protection Agency calculated an integrated first-order half-life of 2.55 days using non-linear regression on the non-transformed data. An earlier study measured a half-life of 2.4 days with 74% of the applied radioactivity detected as 14CO2 at 7 days post-treatment for the degradation of radiolabeled folpet applied at 5.92 ppm to a sandy loam soil. Degradation products are carbon dioxide, phthalimide and phthalic acid(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of 19, 61, and 81 were determined for the fillet, whole fish, and viscera, respectively, in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)(1) using radiolabeled folpet at 10 ug/L. These bioconcentration factors are based on total radiolabeled residues and not specifically folpet residues. According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF range, based on total residues, suggests bioconcentration of folpet and its metabolites in aquatic organisms is low to moderate. The accumulated residues were eliminated over 7 days(1).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Koc values of 7.47 to 21.9 have been reported for folpet(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that folpet is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
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.
