Registration Dossier
Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The half-life in soil was not calculated however, 55 to 78% of mineralisation (gaseous CO2) were observed after 10 days at 22°C at pH 5.8 or 7.2. 67 to 82% of mineralisation are obtained after 35 days.The total amount of mineralized carbon (gas + CO2 bound to soil and biomass) is between 92.4 and 97.2% after 35 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No valid ready biodegradation study in water is available however, according to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7b page 192 (version 1.1, May 2008), the ready biodegradation can be deduced from a study on soil because the biodegradation rate is usually slower in soil than in aquatic media, specially for sorptive substances.
The mineralisation of quinoline in soil is strengthened by the study of the mobility on soil column where biodegradation was also determined over 7.5 days (5.4.4 SoilColumn Thomsen 1999).
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.
