Section 12 - Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: No data available. No information available.

Environmental: Terrestrial: Significant adsorption in soil can be predicted; however, reserpine has a pKa of 6.6 which indicates that substantial ionization may occur in moist soils. Aquatic: Absorbs UV light at environmental wavelengths suggesting that direct photolysis may occur in water exposed to sunlight.Atmospheric: Should exist almost entirely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Physical removal of particulate material may occur via wet or dry deposition. Slight bioconcentration and biodegradation.

Physical: No information available.

Other: For more information, see "HANDBOOK OF ENVIRONMENTAL FATE AND EXPOSURE DATA."
