Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation in soil is unlikely to contribute to the overall degradation in the environment because the substance is a gaseous and primary environmental compartment to which it would partition is air.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Chloroethane (CAS 75-00-3) is a gas and will primarily partition to air. Therefore distribution of the substance to soil and a subsequent accumulation in the compartment is unlikely. The available data indicate that the substance is not readily biodegradable. Comparable degradation rates are expected for biodegradation in soil. The Chemical Safety Assessment indicates a PEC/PNEC ratio below 1 for the terrestrial compartment. Consequently, no risk for this compartment is indicated.
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.
