12.2 Persistence and degradability

The half-life of triphenyltins has been reported to be 3-14 days in field soils planted with a variety of crops(2). Structurally similar C14-phenyl ring-labelled triphenyltin acetate is degraded to inorganic tin in soil presumably by biodegradation since carbon dioxide was evolved and the breakdown did not occur in sterile soil(1,3). Triphenyltin fluoride has been observed to degrade in soil faster under aerobic than anaerobic conditions(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

A BCF of 800 for rainbow trout was observed after a 4-day exposure(1). The uptake and elimination rates of radiolabeled triphenyltin hydroxide in guppies were 41 l/kg-day and 0.014/day, giving a BCF (uptake: elimination ratio) of 2900 l/kg (wet weight) during 30 days of exposure(1). For rainbow trout larvae the uptake and elimination rates were 22 l/kg-day and 0.031/day, respectively giving a BCF of 650 ml/g after 4 days; the lower BCF in the trout than the guppies being a result of the higher elimination rate. Since equilibrium was not reached, the bioconcentration factor was underestimated(1). The log BCFs of triphenyltin in crucian carp obtained in a 7-day experiment were 1.70 (muscle), 1.70 (vertebra); 2.05 (liver); and 1.49 (kidney)(2). In studies in which the bioaccumulation and elimination of triphentyltin in Red Sea bream (Pagrus major) was by direct uptake from water, from diet, and from both simultaneously, about a quarter of the bioaccumulation was due to dietary uptake(3). The bioaccumulation factor was 0.257. The elimination rate was 0.020/day and was independent of the source of uptake, water or diet(3). Bioaccumulation was also independent of the form of triphenyltin in the diet(3). Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus) embryos/larvae and freshly hatched larvae were exposed to triphenyltin chloride in Lake Lucerne, Switzerland water at 16°C(4). The BCF for embryo larvae was 530 at the end of a 192 hr uptake period. Newly hatched larvae had BCFs of 457 and 930 after 96 and 144 hours. At this time the BCF had not reached a plateau so the actual BCF was higher. While uptake of triphenyltin from water was rapid, elimination was absent during a 96-hr depuration period(4). The concn of the metabolites monophenyltin and diphenyltin were very low(4). According to a classification scheme(5), these BCF vales suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

If triphenyltin chloride is released to soil, it either exists as, or is rapidly converted to oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, or hydrated cations(1). Oxides, hydroxides, carbonates or cations are not expected to leach through soil(SRC). In a laboratory soil leaching study, triphenyltins were strongly attached to soil(2). This also suggests that triphenyltins (such as triphenyltin chloride) may be expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). The Freundlich parameters, log k and 1/n, for triphenyltin to sediment were 1.81 and 0.793, respectively(3). In a study of the adsorption behavior of triphenyltin chloride in clay sediments, the ratio of the compound in sediment to that in water was approx 20:1(1).

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
