DecabroModiphenyl Ethane CAS 84852-53-9

Decabromodiphenylethane is a kind of powder with high molecular weight, very low water solubility and also low lipophilicity. These particles have a size of less than 15 μ m. As a result, it is expected that this material will be breathed in after breathing exposure.

The physicochemical properties of decabromodiphenyl ethane show that it is generally distributed in sediments and also soils by combining with the natural part of particulate issue. In the EA ecological threat assessment, it was wrapped up that dbdpethane is unlikely to go through fast photodegradation in the visibility of hydroxyl radicals, is challenging to biodegrade in the water environment under cardiovascular conditions, and also is not hydrolysable (without hydrolytic groups) (Dungey and akintoye, 2007). There is no information offered to evaluate biodegradation under anaerobic problems [e.g., in sewage treatment plants (WWTP) or debris]; EA noted the opportunity of reductive debromination under these conditions.

The capacity of dbdpethane bioconcentration was evaluated in an 8-week fish bioconcentration research (Dungey as well as akintoye, 2007). When fish were exposed to dbdpethane at concentrations of 0.5 as well as 0.05 mg/l, their BCFs were < 2.5 and < 25 L/ kg damp weight (WW), respectively. Since the water concentration utilized exceeds the water solubility of dbdpethane, the dissolution concentration is unidentified. EA appropriately considered this study void. No added BCF researches were readily available; Nevertheless, based on its physicochemical homes as well as low toxicity in intense and also repeated dose animal, water and also terrestrial researches, dbdpethane is unlikely to bioaccumulate.
