Ecotoxicity: No data available. No information available.
Environmental: If released to soil or water, will exist mainly in the dissociated form
under most environmental pHs. Hydrolysis and volatilization in soil and water not
expected to be important. May slowly leach to groundwater, may be subject to
biodegradation. Bioconcentration in aquatic organisms not expected to occur. Will
exist mainly in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. May be subject to
reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. Direct photolysis not a
major environmental pathway.
Physical: No data available.
Other: None.
Section 13 - Disposal Considerations
