Description of key information
Additional information
Biodegradation in water: screening test
The ready biodegradability of the test substance itself was examined according to ISO DIS 9439 (Ultimate Aerobic Biodegradability - Method by Analysis of Released Carbon Dioxide). The test substance was degraded by 80 - 90 % (CO2 evolution) and 90 – 100 % (DOC removal) after 28 days.
The ready biodegradability of the test item was further assessed using a read-across category approach based on grouping of substances. The surrogate test substances were found to be ready biodegradable and a weight of evidence approach was applied. Thus, the pentanols are considered as readily biodegradable.
Biodegradation in water and sediment
The substance is considered as readily biodegradable. Therefore, no further testing on biodegradation is required according to Annex IX (Paragraph 9.2.1, Column 2) of the REACh regulation 1907/2006.
Biodegradation in soil
The substance is considered as readily biodegradable. Therefore, no further testing on biodegradation is required according to Annex IX (Paragraph 9.2.1, Column 2) of the REACh regulation 1907/2006.
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.
