12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: 1,6-Hexanediol, present at 20 mg dissolved organic carbon/L, reached between 91 and 98% of its theoretical CO2 evolution in 28 days using a modified Sturm test(1). Using a modified OECD screening test, 1,6-hexanediol reached between 94 and 96% dissolved organic carbon removal after 28 days(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated for 1,6-hexanediol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.76(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
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 1,6-hexanediol can be estimated to be less than 1(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,6-hexanediol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.
