Details on test material:

SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate is produced by the reaction of an ethyl alcohol with sodium hydroxide to form alcoholate and subsequently adding carbon disulfide to form SEX/ sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate.
SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate contains Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) which are an integral part of the substance.
Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) are both reagents used in the manufacture of SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate. Therefore, Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) need to be considered in the assessment of SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Sodium ethyl xanthate has no affinity to be in air and sediment. The direct emissions to soil and surface water are significant, therefore Reaction mass of SEX will be almost exclusively be found in soil and surface water.

Executive summary:

Mackay fugacity modelling (level 3) indicates that, taking into account degradation and using inflow parameters which are consistent with the known production tonnage of this substance in, fugacity coefficient indicates that environmental concentrations in water are predicted to be 5.2e-019   (atm), in air (atm)   1.65e-020   and soil   8.69e-019    (atm) and sediment to be  1.5e-020  (atm).

These are negligible low levels. This can be considered a worse case prediction as it assumes all product is emitted with no emission control systems used.
