TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1.4(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that iodoacetic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The pKa of iodoacetic acid is 3.18(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as an anion and anions do not volatilize. Iodoacetic acid is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.2X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2018); however, iodoacetic acid was susceptible to biodegradation by a Norcadia sp isolated from soil(5).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1.4(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that iodoacetic acid is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 3.18(3) indicates iodoacetic acid will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.85(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Iodoacetic acid is degraded in natural water by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in natural water is estimated to be about 41 minutes(SRC), calculated from a measured rate constant of 5.7X10-9 L/mol-sec(5). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2018). However, iodoacetic acid was biodegraded 95-100% by Afipia spps isolated from drinking water enrichment cultures developed through acclimation to chloroacetic acids(6).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), iodoacetic acid, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 3.2X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase iodoacetic acid 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 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.9X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Iodoacetic acid absorbs UV light at wavelength 260 nm(3) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis since sunlight consists of wavelengths above 290 nm(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Iodoacetic acid is a solid. It is used as a reagent. HUMAN STUDIES: Iodoacetic acid is toxic to essentially all parts of the eye, when either applied directly or administered systemically. Iodoacetate has been shown to be toxic to the cornea, iris, lens, ciliary body, and retina. Iodoacetic acid did not increase significantly the frequency of micronucleus in binucleated TK6 cells. Stable chromosome aberrations (translocations) were induced in human cells by sodium iodoacetate. ANIMAL STUDIES: Iodoacetate injected intravenously in rabbits or cats causes almost immediate drop in the electric action potentials of the retina, owing to injury of the visual cells. It also causes proteins and cells to appear in the aqueous humor and induces cellular exudation into the vitreous body in five days. Histologic changes are observable in the corneal endothelium and ciliary epithelium. When applied to eyes from which the corneal epithelium has been removed, or when injected into the corneal stroma, solutions from 0.001 M to 0.1 M cause severe to devastating injury. Addition of iodoacetate to the aqueous humor causes corneal edema. Injection into the anterior chamber caused severe damage to the cornea and iris as well as cataract. Excised or isolated rabbit retina has been shown by several investigators to be directly poisoned by iodoacetate, abolishing the ERG and causing selective destruction of rod cells at low concentrations. Iodoacetate is selectively more injurious to rods than cones. The intra-articular injection of iodoacetate into the knee joint of rats produced changes in the articular cartilage which resembled those of osteoarthritis. Iodoacetic acid transformed NIH3T3 cells in a cell-transformation assay that resulted in aggressive fibrosarcomas after injection into mice. Iodoacetic acid was significantly genotoxic to S. typhimurium.

/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Using seawater for toilet flushing may introduce high levels of bromide and iodide into a city's sewage treatment works, and result in the formation of brominated and iodinated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during chlorination to disinfect sewage effluents. In a previous study, the authors' group has detected the presence of many brominated DBPs and identified five new aromatic brominated DBPs in chlorinated saline sewage effluents. The presence of brominated DBPs in chlorinated saline effluents may pose adverse implications for marine ecology. In this study, besides the detection and identification of another seven new aromatic halogenated DBPs in a chlorinated saline sewage effluent, their developmental toxicity was evaluated using the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii. For comparison, the developmental toxicity of some commonly known halogenated DBPs was also examined. The rank order of the developmental toxicity of 20 halogenated DBPs was 2,5-dibromohydroquinone > 2,6-diiodo-4-nitrophenol >/= 2,4,6-triiodophenol > 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol >/= 4-bromophenol > 2,4-dibromophenol >/= 2,6-dibromo-4-nitrophenol > 2-bromo-4-chlorophenol > 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol > 2,4-dichlorophenol > 2,4,6-tribromophenol > 3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde > bromoform >/= 2,4,6-trichlorophenol > 2,6-dibromophenol > 2,6-dichlorophenol > iodoacetic acid ? tribromoacetic acid > bromoacetic acid > chloroacetic acid. On the basis of developmental toxicity data, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) was established. The QSAR involved two physical-chemical property descriptors (log P and pKa) and two electronic descriptors (the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy and the highest occupied molecular orbital energy) to indicate the transport, biouptake, and biointeraction of these DBPs. It can well predict the developmental toxicity of most of the DBPs tested.

Iodoacetic acid's presence in raw waste water has been traced in some cases to use of iodinated x-ray contrast media used in medical imaging. Concentrations ranging from 3,880-4,100 ug/L have been reported for various iodinated contrast media, with a resulting iodoacetic acid concentration range of 0.09-1.8 ug/L formed as a disinfectant byproduct. By-product formation levels of 1.8-4.3 yg/L have been reported from use of tincture of iodine(1).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of iodoacetic acid can be estimated to be 1.4(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that iodoacetic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of iodoacetic acid is 3.18(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).

/GENOTOXICITY/ Stable /chromosome/ aberrations (translocations) were induced in human cells by sodium iodoacetate.

/GENOTOXICITY/ Chemical disinfection of water generates harmful chemical compounds, known as disinfection by-products (DBPs). One class of DBPs is constituted by haloacetic acids (HAAs), the second major group in prevalence (after trihalomethanes) detected in finished drinking water. In this article, we report the results obtained in the evaluation of the chromosome damage induced by three monohaloacetic acids, namely iodoacetic acid (IAA), bromoacetic acid (BAA) and chloroacetic acid (CAA). To evaluate the induction of chromosome damage, we used the cytokinesis-block micronucleus test that measures the ability of genotoxic agents to induce both clastogenic and/or aneugenic effects. ... We tested five doses of each HAA, in addition to the negative and positive controls. The highest dose tested for each HAA was that immediately lower than the dose producing total cytotoxicity. Our results show that none of the three HAAs tested was able to increase significantly the frequency of micronucleus in binucleated TK6 cells, the rank order in decreasing cytotoxicity was IAA > BAA >> CAA.

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are compounds produced in the raw water disinfection processes. Although increased cancer incidence has been associated with exposure to this complex mixture, the carcinogenic potential of individual DBPs remains not well known; thus, further studies are required. Haloacetic acids (HAAs) constitute an important group among DBPs. In this study, we have assessed the in vitro carcinogenic potential of three HAAs namely chloro-, bromo-, and iodoacetic acids. Using a long-term (8 weeks) and sub-toxic doses exposure scenario, different in vitro transformation markers were evaluated using a human urothelial cell line (T24). Our results indicate that long-term exposure to low doses of HAAs did not reproduce the genotoxic effects observed in acute treatments, where oxidative DNA damage was induced. No changes in the transformation endpoints analyzed were observed, as implied by the absence of significant morphological, cell growth rate and anchorage-independent cell growth pattern modifications. Interestingly, HAA-long-term exposed cells developed resistance to oxidative stress damage, what would explain the observed differences between acute and long-term exposure conditions. Accordingly, data obtained under long-term exposure to sub-toxic doses of HAAs could be more accurate, in terms of risk assessment, than under acute exposure scenarios.

/ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ The process of disinfecting drinking water inadvertently leads to the formation of numerous disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Some of these are mutagenic, genotoxic, teratogenic, and cytotoxic, as well as potentially carcinogenic both in vivo and in vitro. We investigated the in vitro biological activity of five DBPs: three monohaloacetic acids (monoHAAs) [chloroacetic acid (CAA), bromoacetic acid (BAA), and iodoacetic acid (IAA)] and two novel halobenzoquinones (HBQs) [2,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone (DCBQ) and 2,6-dibromo-p-benzoquinone]. We focused particularly on cytotoxicity and induction of two adaptive stress response pathways: the oxidative stress responsive Nrf2/ARE and DNA-damage responsive p53 pathways. All five DBPs were cytotoxic to the Caco-2 cell line after a 4 hr exposure, and all DBPs induced both of the adaptive stress response pathways, Nrf2/ARE and p53, in the micromolar range, as measured by two beta-lactamase-based reporter gene assays. The decreasing order of potency for all three endpoints for the five DBPs was IAA /approximately equal to/ BAA > DCBQ /approximately equal to/ DBBQ > CAA. Induction of oxidative stress was previously proposed to be the molecular initiating event (MIE) for both classes of DBPs. However, comparing the levels of activation of the two pathways uncovered that the Nrf2/ARE pathway was the more sensitive endpoint for HAAs, whereas the p53 pathway was more sensitive in the case of HBQs. Therefore, the DNA damage-responsive p53 pathway may be an important piece of information to fill in a gap in the adverse outcome pathway framework for the assessment of HBQs. Finally, we ... compared the potential risk of the two novel HBQs using a benchmarking approach to that of the well-studied CAA, which suggested that their relative risk may be lower than that of BAA and IAA.

Iodoacetic acid's production and use as an analytical reagent(1), presence in iodinated x-ray contrast media and formation as a chemical by-product of chlorination and chloramination of drinking water(2) may result in the release of iodoacetic acid to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

PURE CULTURE: A single bacteria strain of Nocardia, isolated from soil, was able to readily bio-metabolize iodoacetic acid in a 20-day laboratory incubation study(1); in contrast, a single strain of Pseudomonas was unable to metabolize iodoacetic acid(1). Biodegradation of iodoacetic acid by Afipia spp and Methylobacterium sp (phylum Proteobacteria) was reported, isolated from drinking water system cultures enriched by previous exposures to mono-, di- and trichlioroacetic acids. Iodoacetic acid, present at 30 mg/L was approximately 95% biodegraded in 5 days by Afipia felis strain EMDA2 and 100% biodegraded in less than 2 days by A. broomeae strain GTs(2).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for iodoacetic acid (SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.85(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).

A pKa of 3.18(1) indicates iodoacetic acid will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Iodoacetic acid is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.2X10-2 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1).
