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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Adsorption of quinoline is highly dependent on the pH due to its ionisation. At low pH, the sorption is stronger with Koc of 162 (moderately mobile) and at higher pH (7.0), it is highly mobile (Koc = 33). The adsorption, is not only due to the organic matter but is also impacted by the mineral matrix.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The study of Thomsen et al, 1999, has been chosen as the key study because it was performed on a soil in conditions similar to the guideline.
Some other studies are available on clays or sediments. They support the conclusion that the sorption of quinoline is dependent on its ionisation and that sorption on mineral matrices is also possible.
A soil leaching experiment is also available (5.4.4 SoilColumn Thomsen 1999), it supports the conclusion that quinoline is mobile in soil, in a pH dependent manner and is also biodegraded during this transport.
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.
