Abstract: = 2.62, pH > 2, 298 K) attesting to the accuracy of the calculation method. The HO˙ + MB reaction in water followed the formal hydrogen transfer and radical adduct formation mechanisms, yielding various intermediates and products. Based on standard tests these intermediates and some of the products can pose a threat to aquatic organisms, including fish, daphnia, and green algae, they have poor biodegradability and have the potential to induce developmental toxicity. Hence MB in the environment is of moderate concern depending on the ratio of safe to harmful breakdown products.
