Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- not biodegradable
Additional information
As an organo-metal salt the substance could never be considered to undergo complete biodegradation to CO2 and water. The molecule does, however, include long aliphatic chains that could, in principle, partially degrade biotically. In fact, several of the studies available demonstrate a small amount of biodegradation that is likely to be attributable to these aliphatic chains. The substance is considered not readily biodegradable. The following information is taken into account for any hazard / risk / persistency assessment: The ready biodegradability of the substance is considered as a screening study to consider the persistence of the substance in the aquatic environment.
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.
