775429 - Polytac0 No. 2 Page 5/7 <br />Date of Issue: 03-Feb-2009 Status: Final <br />12. Ecological Information <br />Ecotoxicity: Experimental studies show that acute aquatic toxicity values are in the range 1-100 mg/I. These values are consistent with <br />the predicted aquatic toxicity of these substances based on their hydrocarbon compositions. Should be regarded as capable of causing <br />long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. <br />Mobility: Volatilization to air is not expected to be a significant fate process due to the low vapor pressure of this material. <br />Components may behave differently in the aquatic environment with soaps dispersing and dissolving to some extent in water while the <br />hydrocarbons will float on the surface due to their low water solubility. The hydrocarbon portion would be expected to show low mobility <br />in soil and water. The major environmental fate would be expected to be biodegradion. <br />Persistence and degradability: The base oil constituents of greases are expected to be inherently, but no readily biodegradable. <br />Some of the thickening agents may be readily biodegradable. <br />Bioaccumulation Potential: Log Kow values measured for the hydrocarbon components of this material range from 4 to over 6, and <br />therefore regarded as having the potential to bioaccumulate. In practice, metabolic processes may reduce bioconcentration. <br />13. 11is osal Considerations <br />The generator of a waste is always responsible for making proper hazardous waste determinations and needs to consider state and <br />local requirements in addition to federal regulations. <br />This material, if discarded as produced, would not be a federally regulated RCRA "listed" hazardous waste and is not believed to exhibit <br />characteristics of hazardous waste. See Sections 7 and 8 for information on handling, storage and personal protection and Section 9 <br />for physical/chemical properties. It is possible that the material as produced contains constituents which are not required to be listed in <br />the MSDS but could affect the hazardous waste determination. Additionally, use which results in chemical or physical change of this <br />material could subject it to regulation as a hazardous waste. <br />This material under most intended uses would become "Used Oil due to contamination by physical or chemical impurities. Whenever <br />possible, Recycle Used Oil in accordance with applicable federal and state or local regulations. Container contents should be <br />• completely used and containers should be emptied prior to discard. <br />14.
