Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
DEGDN was found to undergo biotransformation under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions in waters. In both cases, the biotransformation appears to be organic nutrient-dependent. Biotransformation half-lives ranged from 5 days in the presence of ethanol to greater than 40 days in natural water.
Biotransformation appeared to be very slow in soil under aerobic conditions. In sediment, an irreversible binding of DEGDN was observed and it was difficult to distinguish biotransformation processes from adsorptive properties. The observation that sterilized sediments bound DEGDN as readily as did non-sterile sediment suggests that the physical processes will dominate the loss and movement of DEGDN in sediment.
DEGDN will biotransform with a second order biotransformation rate constant equal to 3.9x10(-11) ml org-1 hr-1. A half-life is expected to be 740 days (DEGDN half-lives can be projected from this average second-order rate constant and estimates of microbial populations). Polar biotransformation products are produced and do not buildup in the medium.
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.
