- It should be noted that although these coefficients indicate a moderate potential for the esters to concentrate, their levels are one to two orders of magnitude less than those reported for some pesticides and PCBs. In addition, the potential for these esters to actually bioaccumulate to significant levels in the environment is a function of many factors. Chief among these factors is exposure: the materials must have the opportunity for broad exposure to aquatic communities during their manufacture, distribution, use or disposal. Additionally, i f a material enters the aquatic environment during its lifetime , there is a possibility that it will decompose before it has the opportunity t o bioconcentrate. The mobility of a material in aquatic and soil systems must also be considered, as if the material is readily adsorbed to soils or sediments, for example, it will be less likely to wash into lakes and streams and to be transported once there.
Since phosphate esters are widely distributed and have a potential for entering aquatic environments, it is recommended that these products be managed to prevent their entrance to natural aquatic environments. Information available in the literature indicates that these phosphate esters biodegrade and, therefore, may be removed through conventional biological wastewater treatment. This is just one approach to preventing these products from entering natural aquatic environments. - Conclusions:
- The partition coefficient is reported as a range based on the values obtained for Kronitex 50, Kronitex 100 and Kronitex 200, all of which are indicative of the substance itself. This equates to a log Pow value of 4.92 to 5.17. This value is indicative of the propensity of the substance to bioaccumulate.
- Executive summary:
The partition coefficient is reported as a range based on the values obtained for Kronitex 50, Kronitex 100 and Kronitex 200, all of which are indicative of the substance itself. This equates to a log Pow value of 4.92 to 5.17. This value is indicative of the propensity of the substance to bioaccumulate.
Reference
The highest partition coefficients were observed in the naturally derived triaryl phosphates, tricresyl phosphate (Kronitex TCP) and trixylenyl phosphate (Kronitex TXP ). The synthetic triaryl phosphates, Kronitex 100, Kronitex 200B, Kronitex 200 and Kronitex 50, all had partition coefficients lower than the natural triaryl phosphates. The non-substituted triaryl phosphate triphenyl phosphate (TPP) had the lowest partition coefficient of the triaryl phosphates. Note that TPP was synthesized for experimental use and is not a commercial product, however, it is a major component of several commercial triaryl phosphates. The alkyl phosphate esters, tributyl phosphate (Kronitex TBP) and tributoxyethyl phosphate (Kronitex KP140) had the lowest partition coefficient of all the products tested. The octanol-water partition coefficients of the phosphate esters tested, ranged from 6.38 x l0^3 to 8.60 x l0^5 . With partition coefficients of this magnitude, each of these phosphate esters has the potential to bioaccumulate. Table 1: Octanol-Water Partition Coefficients of Kronitex Phosphate Esters:
