10.2 Chemical stabilityRelatively unstable to light & air; fading and degradation upon brief exposure of chromatograms to light, especially at high humidity.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsOCHRATOXIN A is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong bases. . It is a carboxylic acid derivative. Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat. Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt.
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
10.5 Incompatible materialsThe lactone group is saponified by alkalis
10.6 Hazardous decomposition productsWhen heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of /hydrogen chloride/ and /nitric oxides/.

12.Ecological information 12.1 Toxicity- 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
AEROBIC: Ochratoxin A, present at 24.3, 25.3 and 16.0 ug/kg, was not detected after 225 days using three agricultural topsoils from Danish experimental farms: a sandy soil (Jundevad, 3.9% clay, 4.1% silt, 89.0% sand), a sandy clay soil (Askov, 10.6% clay, 11.8% silt, 74.6% sand) and a gyttja soil with a high content of silt (Lammefjorden, 4.4% clay, 12.1% silt, 80.6% sand), respectively. Degradation proceeded fast initially followed by a slower transformation step. The first-order degradation rates were 0.73, 1.56 and 2.91/day, respectively, corresponding to a half-lives of 0.2-1 days. Degradation was faster in experimental pots planted with barley. The ochratoxin A employed was produced by Penicillium verrucosum(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 1200 was calculated in fish for ochratoxin A(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.74(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is very high(SRC). However, it has been demonstrated that ochratoxin A is toxic in marine water-reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.); exposure via contaminated feed(4).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of the neutral species of ochratoxin A is estimated as 3800(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.74(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that ochratoxin A is expected to have slight mobility in soil. The estimated pKa values of ochratoxin A are 2.6 and 8.2, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).
12.5 Other adverse effectsno data available
13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe 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 packagingContainers 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. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
