12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ALL WORK PRACTICES MUST BE AIMED AT ELIMINATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION.
MOBILITY: This product has not been tested for mobility in soil. Acrylate compounds will decompose over time in the
environment.
ACRYLIC ACID:
Terrestrial Fate: Based on a classification scheme, a Koc value of 43 indicates that Acrylic Acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Volatilization of Acrylic Acid
from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process given a Henry's Law constant of 3.2X10-7 atm-cu m/mole. Acrylic Acid has a pKa of 4.25, and
at environmental conditions of pH 5-9, should exist predominantly in the anionic form. This may result in greater adsorption and less mobility of Acrylic Acid in soil.
The potential for volatilization of Acrylic Acid from dry soil surfaces may exist based upon a vapor pressure of 3.97 mmHg. A microbial degradation study of Acrylic
Acid in soil indicated that acrylic acid, formed from hydrolysis of acrylamide added to soil, was totally degraded within 15 days of its formation.
2-HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE:
Terrestrial Fate: Based on a classification scheme, an estimated Koc value of 43, determined from a log Kow of 0.47 and a regression-derived equation, indicates that 2-
Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Volatilization of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an
important fate process given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole, using a fragment constant estimation method. 2-Hydroxyethyl
Methacrylate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon a vapor pressure of 0.126 mm Hg. Screening tests indicate that 2-Hydroxyethyl
Methacrylate is readily biodegradable; it reached 92-100% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum.
PERSISTENCE AND BIODEGRADABILITY: This product has not been tested for persistence or biodegradability. Acrylate
compounds will decompose over time in the environment.
ACRYLIC ACID:
Persistence and Biodegradability: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semi-volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, Acrylic Acid, which has a vapor
pressure of 3.97 mm Hg at 25癈, is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase Acrylic Acid is degraded in the atmosphere by
reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2 days from its estimated rate constant of 9.7X10-12 cu
cm/molecule-sec at 25癈. A major removal process of Acrylic Acid from the atmosphere is reaction with hydroxyl radicals; the atmospheric lifetime was reported to be
< 1 day. The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of acrylic with ozone has been estimated as 1.8X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25癈 using a structure
estimation method; this corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 7 days at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 molecules/cu cm. Acrylic Acid is not
expected to directly photolyze in sunlight based upon the lack of absorption of light at wavelengths > 290 nm by the structurally similar ethyl acrylate. Based on a
classification scheme, a Koc value of 43 indicates that Acrylic Acid is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water. Volatilization from water
surfaces is expected to be slow based upon a Henry's Law constant of 3.2X10-7 atm-cu m/mole. Volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 96 days
and 700 days, respectively, using an estimation method. A pKa of 4.25 indicates Acrylic Acid will exist almost entirely in the anionic form at pH values of 5 to 9 and
therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. Acrylic Acid was determined to be stable to hydrolysis at pH 3, 7, and 11.
According to a classification scheme, an estimated BCF of 1, from a log Kow of 0.35 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Acrylic
Acid readily biodegrades both aerobically and anaerobically; it reached 68% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum and in a 42 day
anaerobic screening study using a sewage seed inoculum, 71% of acrylic acid was mineralized.
2-HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE:
Persistence and Biodegradability: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semi-volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, 2- Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate,
which has a vapor pressure of 0.126 mm Hg at 25癈, is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2- Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is
degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 16 hours from its
estimated rate constant of 2.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25癈. Because the structurally similar ethyl methacrylate does not absorb light in the environmental
spectrum above 290 nm, direct photolysis of 2- Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is not expected to occur. Based on a classification scheme, an estimated Koc value of 43,
determined from a log Kow of 0.47 and a regression-derived equation, indicates that 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and
sediment in water. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.6X10-9 atm-cu m/mole, developed using a
fragment constant estimation method. According to a classification scheme, an estimated BCF of 1.3, from the log Kow, suggests the potential for bioconcentration in
aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis of 2- Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate may be a significant process under basic conditions based upon a hydrolytic half-life of 4 hours at
pH 11 for the structurally similar butyl acrylate; half-lives for butyl acrylate at pH 7, 8, and 9 were 4 years, 150 days, and 15 days, respectively, based upon a hydrolytic
rate constant of 0.053 L/mole-sec. Screening tests indicate that 2- Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate is readily biodegradable; it reached 92-100% of its theoretical BOD in 2
weeks using an activated sludge inoculum.
BIO-ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL: This product has not been tested for bio-accumulation potential. No information is
available for components. The following is information for the possible decomposition product, Methanol.
ACRYLIC ACID:
Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 1 was calculated for acrylic acid, using a log Kow of 0.35 and a regression-derived equation. According to a classification scheme,
this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
2-HYDROXYETHYL METHACRYLATE:
Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 1.3 was calculated for 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, using a log Kow of 0.47. According to a classification scheme, this BCF
suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
