Acetazolamide
Summary
Persistence. It cannot be excluded that acetazolamide is persistent, due to the lack of data.
Bioaccumulation. Acetazolamide has low potential for bioaccumulation.
Toxicity. It cannot be excluded that acetazolamide is toxic, due to the lack of data.
Risk. Risk of environmental impact of acetazolamide cannot be excluded, due to the lack of environmental toxicity data.
This summary information comes from Fass.
Detailed information
Fass environmental information
Fass environmental information for Diamox (acetazolamide) from Amdipharm (downloaded 2024-06-14).
Hazard
Persistence: No data.
Bioaccumulation: "The majority of data from the public domain considering the unionized and the ionized form of azetacolamide indicate little risk for bioaccumulation, in particular, since Dow values (across a pH range from 2.58 to 10) are below the trigger value of ≤4."
Toxicity: No data.
Risk
Risk of environmental impact of acetazolamide cannot be excluded, due to the lack of environmental toxicity data.
