  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF value of 2.6 was calculated for acetal(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 0.84(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will be low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 68(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that acetal will have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of acetal may be important from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.75X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure(4) and water solubility(5), and from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based on an experimental vapor pressure of 27.6 mm Hg(5). Insufficient data are available to determine the rate or importance of biodegradation of acetal in soil(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 68(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that acetal would not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in the water. Acetal would volatilize from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.75X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure(4) and water solubility(5). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 13 hours and 7.3 days, respectively(3,SRC). An estimated BCF value of 2.6(3,SRC), from an experimental log Kow(2), suggests that acetal will not bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC) according to a recommended classification scheme(6). Acetals are easily cleaved by dilute acids by the SN1 mechanism(7). However, they are extremely resistant to hydrolysis by bases(7). Therefore, hydrolysis of acetal is expected to be an important fate process in acidic water conditions(SRC). Insufficient data are available to determine the rate or importance of biodegradation of acetal in water(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), an experimental vapor pressure of 27.6 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that acetal will exist in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase acetal 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 about 19.6 hours(3,SRC).
