- Toxicity Summary: IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Linalyl acetate is a clear, colorless, oily liquid. It is an excellent fragrance material. It can also be employed in soaps and detergents and as a food additive. It is a component of oil paint. It is used in extracts and as a substitute for petitgrain oil. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Application of linalyl acetate in acetone (33%) to the back of male volunteers without known allergies during 48 hours under occlusion did not induce signs of irritation up to 120 hours after removal of the patch. Linalyl acetate is identified as one of the constituents of lavender oil that may cause allergic reactions. Oxidized linalyl acetate could be a common fragrance contact allergen. The potential genotoxicity of linalyl acetate, was evaluated in vitro by the micronucleus test on peripheral human lymphocytes. In the range of non-toxic concentrations (0.5-100 ug/mL), linalyl acetate increased the frequency of micronuclei significantly and in concentration-dependent manner. In a chromosome aberration test with human lymphocytes, linalyl acetate did not induce aberrations, both with and without S-9 mix. ANIMAL STUDIES: Inhalation exposure of mice to 2.74 mg linalyl acetate/ Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 180 was calculated in fish for linalyl acetate(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.93(1) 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 430(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that linalyl acetate is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of linalyl acetate from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-4 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Linalyl acetate has a reported vapor pressure of 0.111 mm Hg(3) and exists as a liquid under environmental conditions; therefore, linalyl acetate may volatilize from dry soil(SRC). A 75% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(4) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 430(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that linalyl acetate is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 4.8 hours and 5.8 days, respectively(SRC). The hydrolysis half-life is <24 hours at 20 °C, with expected end products of linalool and acetic acid(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 180(SRC), from its log Kow of 3.93(6) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). A 75% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(4) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). 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), linalyl acetate, which has a vapor pressure of 0.111 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase linalyl acetate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and ozone(SRC); the half-lives for these reactions in air are estimated to be 200 and 38 minutes, respectively(SRC), calculated from respective rate constants of 1.2X10-10 and 4.3X10-16 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that were derived using structure estimation methods(3). Linalyl acetate may also react with nitrate radicals in the atmosphere(4). Linalyl acetate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(5) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
