12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 41 was calculated in fish for papaverine(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.95(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
A log Koc of 5.18 has been reported for papaverine(1), corresponding to a Koc of 151,365(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that papaverine is expected to be immobile in soil. The pKa of papaverine is 8.07(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). A Kd of 5442 has been reported using an agricultural soil from Corrstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland(1).

no data available
SECTION 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.
