Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich
EC Number:
271-090-9
EC Name:
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich
Cas Number:
68515-48-0
Molecular formula:
C26 H42 O4
IUPAC Name:
1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): diisononylphthalate (DINP)

Study design

Details on sampling:
Soil sample site locations in The Netherlands are shown in the figure below. A total of 49 soil samples were collected by RIVM. Samples were collected as in the earlier monitoring program conducted between 1999 and 2001 (Alcontrol Biochem Laboratoria 1999).

- Alcontrol Biochem Laboratoria. 1999. The analysis of phthalates in soil and sediment. Hoogvliet.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
DINP was detected in 3 of 49 soil samples, with a mean concentration of 0.093 mg/kg dry wt.
This is consistent with levels previously reported in Europe in a previous monitoring study (Vikelsoe et al. 1999) and reported by Clark (2010).

Concentrations are reported as median values when possible. Non-detect samples were treated according to Nicolich (personal communication) as follows:

             If greater than 50% of data are below LOQ for any given medium, then the concentration was reported as <LOQ, and the LOQ was provided.

             If greater than 50% of the data are above LOQ for any given medium/tissue, then the LOQ was divided by the square root of 2, and this value was used in subsequent calculations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on these samples, there appears to be no evidence of an increase in soil concentrations of DINP. Overall, the levels of DINP remain low in soils, and well within safe limits.
The PNEC for soil is 30 mg/kg dry wt for DINP (ECB 2003), more than two orders of magnitude greater than median detected levels of DINP.

[ECB]. 2003. EU Risk Assessment Report. 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, di-C8-10-branched alkyl esters, C9-rich and di-"isononyl"phthalate (DINP).
Executive summary:

Overall, the levels of DINP remain at very low levels in the environment, and well within safe limits.
