Description of key information
The ready biodegradation potential of cyclopentene was tested in a study according to OECD 310, headspace test. It was reported that there was no biological degradation of the test item during the test. Therefore, cyclopentene under the strict conditions of the OECD 310 did not demonstrate ready biodegradability.
However, because the test item is extrememly volatile, there is potential for minimal exposure of the test item to the inoculum as the test item may have been mostly present in the headspace of the vessels and unavailalbe to the microbial community to break down the substance.
Additional information
Biodegradation is unlikely to contribute to the overall degradation in the environment because the substance is gaseous and, the primary environmental compartment to which it partition is air.
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).
