Description of key information
Biodegradation in water: screening tests: Key studies: zinc acetate is readily biodegradable (read-across from experimental data on the category member sodium acetate and zinc citrate).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
Key studies:
Based on the experimental results obtained with the analogue sodium acetate, which is considered to be readily biodegradable (> 99% in 28 days), and applying the read-across approach, the substance zinc acetate is also considered to be readily biodegradable.
Based on the experimental results obtained with the analogue zinc citrate (reported under the endpoint 05.02.01_04 Zinc citrate), which is considered to be readily biodegradable (Zinc citrate complexes were degraded after a lag of 20 hours
and applying the read-across approach, the substance zinc acetate is also considered to be readily biodegradable under test conditions.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.
