Ecological Information <br /> Formaldehyde is highly toxic to algae, protozoa and other unicellular organisms and slightly <br /> toxic to fish. In the atmosphere the material is rapidly degraded by photolysis and <br /> photooxidation. Formaldehyde is mobile in the soil. In water or soil, formaldehyde is <br /> biodegraded in a few days_Experiments performed on a variety of fish and shrimp show no <br /> bioconcentration of formaldehyde. <br /> Ecotoxicity: <br /> Algae(scenedesmus):toxic: 0.3-0.5 mg/l <br /> Arthropoda(daphnia): toxic: 2 mg/l <br /> Fish(guppies):TLm=50-200 mg/I <br /> Environmental Fate: <br /> BODS=60%of ThOD=0.6-1.07 standard dilution at<260 mg/I <br /> Octanol/ Water Partition Coefficient=0.35 (LKOW) <br /> 13. Disposal Considerations <br /> Recover free liquid. Absorb residue and dispose of according to local, state/provincial, and <br /> federal requirements. Empty container: May contain explosive vapors. DO NOT cut, puncture <br /> or weld on or nearby. <br /> 14.
