4.2Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Chronic overexposure may cause jaundice. This may be accompanied by fever, leukocytosis, eosinophilia and elevated activities of transaminases in plasma. Allergic reactions to this compound may include fever, eosinophilia, skin eruptions, urticaria and anaphylaxis. Cholestatic hepatitis occurs rarely. Epigastric distress, possibly severe may also occur. Intramuscular injections of large quantities of this compound may cause extremely severe pain that persists for hours. Intravenous infusions of 1 gram doses have reportedly been followed by thrombophlebitis. Prolonged use may result in an overgrowth of nonsusceptible bacteria or fungi. There have been isolated reports of reversible hearing loss occurring after exposure to this chemical, chiefly in persons with renal insufficiency. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition, this compound may emit toxic fumes of NOx. (NTP, 1992)

12.1Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: no data available
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: Erythromycin was 0, 75, 100% degraded at 4, 20, and 30 deg C, respectively, in sandy loam soil plus cattle feces in 30 days; a half-life of 11 days was reported in feces-amended soil at 20 deg C(1). Degradation of erythromycin has been reported at 25% in 30 days using a sandy loam mixed with manure(2). Using the closed bottle test, erythromycin, present at 3 ug/L and 2.46 mg/L exhibited theoretical BODs of -3 and -3% after 14 and 28 days incubation, respectively, using an inoculum of municipal sewage treatment plant effluent and maintained at 20 deg C(3). Addition of a readily biodegradable source of organic carbon such as sodium acetate increased the theoretical BOD to 23.1% after 28 days(3). Using a sandy loam soil (pH 6.0-6.3, clay 16.3%; sand 60.0%; silt 23.7%) amended with chicken feces, 3% and 75% activity was lost in 30 days at 4 and 20 deg C, respectively, corresponding to a half-life of 11 days; 100% activity was observed at 30 deg C after 18 days, corresponding to a half-life of 8.5 days(4).

12.3Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 49 was calculated in fish for erythromycin(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.06(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).

12.4Mobility in soil

The Koc of erythromycin is estimated as 570(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.06(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that erythromycin is expected to have low mobility in soil. Freundlich adsorption coefficients for erythromycin A of 3.1X10-23, 0.86, 1.9X10-14, 2.0X10-5, 0.50, 2.57, 0.94 and 4.95 have been reported using HK, KK, CaK, FeK, HM, KM, CaM and FeM homoionic clays, respectively, at 25 deg C(4). The pKa of erythromycin is 8.9(5), 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(6).

12.5Other adverse effects

no data available

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

13.1Disposal 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.
