Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

On the basis of read across, octacos-1-ene is not expected to be inhibitory to microorganisms.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Experimental data are not available for octacos-1-ene. In the absence of data for octacos-1-ene, data have been read across from category members with a lower carbon number.

Data are available on the toxicity of alpha olefins with a carbon range of C6 - C18 to microorganisms. Data are available from ready biodegradation screening studies and non-standard tests. None of the studies have demonstrated any toxicity to microorganisms at the limits of solubility.

These results indicate that we would not expect octacos-1-ene to exhibit toxicity to microorganisms.
