The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.

2-t-Butylphenol's production and use as an intermediate in the manufacture of synthetic resins, plasticizers, surface-active agents, and perfumes or as a starting material for antioxidants and agrochemicals may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to the atmosphere, 2-t-butylphenol will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases based on an experimental vapor pressure of 1.5X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C. Vapor-phase 2-t-butylphenol should be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 9.5 hours. Particulate-phase 2-t-butylphenol may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition. 2-t-Butylphenol is expected to have low mobility in soil based on an estimated Koc value of 1500. An estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-6 suggests that volatilization from moist soil surfaces will be slow. Limited data, mainly derived by analogy to 4-t-butylphenol, indicate that 2-t-butylphenol may be resistant to biodegradation in soil and water environments. 4-t-Butylphenol (at 30 mg/l) was not biodegraded over a 2 week period using an activated sludge inoculum; in river and sea water 11% of the initial concentration of 4-t-butylphenol was biodegraded over 3 days. An estimated BCF value of 190 indicates bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may be an important fate process. This compound was rapidly taken up by zebra fish with a steady state concentration reached within 5 hours; the clearance phase required 6 hours. 2-t-Butylphenol may volatilize from water surfaces given its estimated Henry's Law constant. Estimated volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 31 and 230 days, respectively. Exposure to 2-t-butylphenol may occur occupationally during its production or use in the manufacture of other products. (SRC)

2-t-Butylphenol's production and use as an intermediate in the manufacture of synthetic resins, plasticizers, surface-active agents, and perfumes(1) or as a starting material for antioxidants and agrochemicals(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1500(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-t-butylphenol will have low mobility in soil(SRC). Limited data, mainly derived by analogy to 4-t-butylphenol, indicate that 2-t-butylphenol may be resistant to biodegradation(SRC). 4-t-Butylphenol (at 30 mg/L) was not biodegraded over a 2 week period using an activated sludge inoculum(4); in river and sea water 4-t-butylphenol showed 11% biodegradation over 3 days(5). However, resting cells of a Pseudomonas strain obtained by selective enrichment with 4-hydroxybenzoate as the sole carbon source, were able to biodegrade 2-t-butylphenol (oxygen uptake rate 26 nmol O2/min/mg protein)(6). Volatilization of 2-t-butylphenol from moist soil surfaces would be slow(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(7,SRC).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1500(SRC), determined from an experimental log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-t-butylphenol would adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in the water. 2-t-Butylphenol would volatilize slowly from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.4X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 31 and 230 days, respectively(3,SRC). An estimated BCF value of 190(3,SRC), from an experimental log Kow(2), suggests that 2-t-butylphenol may bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms(SRC) according to a recommended classification scheme(5). Limited data, mainly derived by analogy to 4-t-butylphenol, indicate that 2-t-butylphenol may be resistant to biodegradation(SRC). 4-t-Butylphenol (at 30 mg/L) was not biodegraded over a 2 week period using an activated sludge inoculum(6); in river and sea water 4-t-butylphenol showed 11% biodegradation over 3 days(7).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), an experimental vapor pressure of 1.5X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2) indicates that 2-t-butylphenol will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere(SRC). Vapor-phase 2-t-butylphenol 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 about 9.5 hours(3,SRC). Particulate-phase 2-t-butylphenol may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC).

By analogy to 4-t-butylphenol, 2-t-butylphenol may be recalcitrant to biodegradation in the environment(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2-t-butylphenol with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 4.1X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1,SRC). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 9.5 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1,SRC). 2-t-Butylphenol has a measured pKa of 10.28(2) indicating that this compound will exist mainly in the non-dissociated form at environmental pH's(SRC).

An estimated BCF value of 190 was calculated for 2-t-butylphenol(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 3.31(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may be an important fate process(SRC). This compound was rapidly taken up by zebra fish with a steady state concentration reached within 5 hours; the clearance phase required 6 hours(3).

The Koc of 2-t-butylphenol is estimated as approximately 1500(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 3.31(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this Koc value suggests that 2-t-butylphenol has low mobility in soil(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for 2-t-butylphenol is estimated as 1.4X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This value indicates that 2-t-butylphenol will volatilize from water surfaces(2,SRC). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 31 days(2,SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec) is estimated as approximately 230 days(2,SRC). 2-t-Butylphenol's estimated Henry's Law constant(1,SRC) indicates that volatilization from moist soil may occur(SRC).

SURFACE WATER: 2-t-Butylphenol was detected in Rhine River water at 2 of 6 sites measured in the Rhine River delta, The Netherlands (concentrations of 0.015-0.022 ug/L)(1).

2-t-Butylphenol was reported in the finished water from an advanced wastewater treatment plant at Lake Tahoe, CA at unreported concentrations(1).

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 8300 workers (239 of these are female) are potentially exposed to 2-t-butylphenol in the USA(1).

The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms.
