- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 310 was calculated for N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 5.4(1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 21,700(SRC), determined from an estimated log Kow of 5.4(2,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine is expected to be immobile in soil(SRC). Volatilization of N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.9X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(4); however, adsorption may attenuate this process(SRC). N,N-Dimethyl-1-dodecanamine is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.016 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). N,N-Dimethyl-1-dodecanamine, present at 100 mg/l, achieved 49.4% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese MITI test(6).

- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 21,700(SRC), determined from an estimated log Kow of 5.4(2,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.9X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4); however, adsorption may attenuate this process(SRC). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2 hours and 6 days, respectively if adsorption is neglected(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model pond is about 160 days when adsorption is considered(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 310(SRC), from its estimated log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). N,N-Dimethyl-1-dodecanamine, present at 100 mg/l, achieved 49.4% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/l and the Japanese M 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), N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.016 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase N,N-dimethyl-1-dodecanamine 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 4 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 9.3X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3) determined using a structure estimation method(3).
