Hazard
Persistence: No data.
Bioaccumulation: "Log D (Octanol Water Coefficient) = 2.54 ( pH 7.4) (25 ° C); Log D (Octanol Water Coefficient) = 2.75 ( pH 7.4) (36 ° C). Based on the octanol water coefficient (log D) at pH 7.4 of 2.54. Levobupivacaine has low potential for bioaccumulation.
Toxicity: No data.
Risk
