ACETIC ACID GLACIAL:
log Kow: -0.3- -O.17
Half-life (hr) air: 641
Henry's atm m鲁 /mol: 1.00E-09
BOD 5 if unstated: 0.34-0.88,36%

Toxicity Fish: LC50 (96h) 75-88 mg/l
Toxicity invertebrate: cell mult. inhib. 78-4000mg/L
Bioaccumulation: not sig
Degradation Biological: readily degrad
processes Abiotic: Rxn OH*,hydrol
Acetic acid is degraded photochemically in the atmosphere to produce
hydroxyl radicals (estimated typical half-life of 22 days).
Physical removal of acetates on atmospheric particulates may occur via
wet or dry deposition.
Natural water will neutralise dilute solutions of acetic acid.
Spills of acetic acid on soil will readily biodegrade.
Acetic acid is not expected to bioconcentrate in the aquatic system.
Low concentrations of acetic acid are harmful to fish.
Drinking water standards: none available.
Soil Guidelines: none available.
Air Quality Standards: none available.
