No data available.
Ecotoxicology Assessment: (Methanol)
Material is expected to be slightly toxic to aquatic life.
Persistence and degradability
Biodegradability: (Methanol and Ethylene Glycol)
When released into the soil, this material is expected to readily biodegrade. When released into water, this material is
expected to readily biodegrade. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with
photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals.
Stability in water: (Methanol and Ethylene Glycol)
When released into the soil, methanol is expected to quickly evaporate. When released into the soil, these materials are
expected to leach into groundwater. When released into the water, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and
10 days.
Photodegradation: (Methanol and Ethylene Glycol)
When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily degraded by reaction with photochemically produced
hydroxyl radicals.
Volatility (Henry's Law constant): (Methanol)
Partition coefficient n-octanol/water (log K
ow
) = -0.77
Volatility (Henry's Law constant): (Ethylene Glycol)
Partition coefficient n-octanol/water (log Kow) = -1.36
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: (Methanol)

C
Bioconcentration factor (BCF): 1.0
Mobility in soil: (Methanol and Ethylene Glycol)
Distribution among environmental compartments:
When released into the soil, methanol is expected to quickly evaporate. When released into the soil, this material is expected to
leach into groundwater. Ethylene glycol is water soluble and may spread in water systems.
Other adverse effects:
When released into the water, this material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. When released into the air,
this material is expected to exist in the aerosol phase with a short half-life. When released into air, this material is expected to
have a half-life between 10 and 30 days. When released into the air, this material is expected to be readily removed from the
atmosphere by wet deposition.
