Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Half-lives for the dissapation of 1,2-dichloropropane in soils range from 41 to 69 days (average 52 days) at 15 C. Based on the release rates of water extractable inorganic chloride in the soil samples, the total degradation of 1,2-dichloropropane applied at normal field rates is slow.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 52 d
- at the temperature of:
- 288 K
Additional information
The rates of dissipation and chloride release in soils amended with 1,2 -dichloropropane was examined in 2 sandy soils (organic carbon content 7.7% and 1.9%; pH value 4.3 and 5.0) and 2 clay soils (organic carbon content of 1.5% and 1.8%; clay content 7.9% and 17.4%; pH value 7.7 and 7.6). The soils were incubated with 1,2 -dichloropropane in closed glass vessels and amended bimonthly. Twenty-seven months after the last addition of 1,2 -dichloropropane the organic chloride content of the soils was analyzed to determine the reduction of 1,2-dichloropropane. Judging from the release rates of water extractable inorganic chloride in the soil, the total degradation of the components applied at normal field rates was slow.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
