Trimethylaluminium reacts spontaneously with water and air therefore trimethylaluminium is not predicted to be either persistent in the environment or bioaccumulative.

Trimethylaluminium reacts spontaneously with water to produce aluminium hydroxide and methane or methanol and also reacts spontaneously with air; the products of complete combustion being aluminium oxide, carbon dioxide and water. Aluminium oxide and aluminium hydroxide cannot be considered to fulfil the criteria for toxicity.
