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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in soil
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- phototransformation in soil
- Type of information:
- other: Peer reviewed bibliographical data
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- No study performed. Based on a classification scheme and an estimated Koc value of 1, indicates that glyoxylic acid is expected to have very high mobility in soil. By analogy to other aliphatic acids, biodegradation is expected to be an important degradation process for glyoxylic acid in soil. Volatilisation of glyoxylic acid from moist soil surface is not expected to be an important fate process since the anion will not volatilize. Glyoxylic acid may volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure of 1 mm Hg at 25°C.
