  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 4 was calculated in fish for ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate(SRC), using a water solubility of 9000 mg/L(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). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 15(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 9000 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 5.46X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(4). Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 0.375 mm Hg(5). Biodegradation of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is expected based on a screening study were 90% was degraded in 28 days(6). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 15(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 9000 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 5.46X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 9 and 70 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 4(SRC), from its water solubility(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Estimated hydrolysis half-lives for ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate are 300 and 30 days at pHs 7 and 8, respectively(6). Biodegradation of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is expected based on a screening study were 90% was degraded in 28 days(7). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, which has a vapor pressure of 0.375 mm Hg at 20 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 18 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
