2-ピリジンエタノール

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 28(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.12(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-pyridineethanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-pyridineethanol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC). 2-Pyridineethanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 28(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.12(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-pyridineethanol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(5), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-pyridineethanol, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere(SRC). Vapor-phase 2-pyridineethanol 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 2.6 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 6.2X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase 2-pyridineethanol may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).

The Koc of 2-pyridineethanol is estimated as 28(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.12(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-pyridineethanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for 2-pyridineethanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.12(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).

The Henry's Law constant for 2-pyridine ethanol is estimated as 1.5x10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-pyridineethanol is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). 2-Pyridineethanol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-5 mm Hg(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2-pyridineethanol with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 6.2x10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 2.6 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 2-Pyridineethanol is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(2). Pyridine has a weak absorption band that extends into the environmental UV spectrum, which suggests that direct photolysis is not likely to be an important fate process for 2-pyridineethanol (SRC).

2-Pyridineethanol's production and use in the manufacture of vinyl pyridines may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 7.0X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates 2-pyridineethanol will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-pyridineethanol will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2.6 days. Particulate-phase 2-pyridineethanol will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. If released to soil, 2-pyridineethanol is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 28. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.5X10-10 atm-cu m/mole. If released into water, 2-pyridineethanol is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to occur due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups. Occupational exposure to 2-pyridineethanol may occur by dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 2-pyridineethanol is produced or used. (SRC)
