Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Chemicals can reach the soil via several routes:
1. Application
of sewage sludge in agriculture.
Tetramethyltrimethylenediamine (TMPDA)
when released into the sewage of a plant production or of a downstream’s user plant, are treated with other substances in dedicated sewage treatment plants. The activated sludge stemmed from these sewage treatment plants are then extracted and treated as chemical waste. Industrial sludge are not applied natural soils. The sludge are incinerated, contained or reclaimed.From the production plant, the release of TMPDA into the sewage is very limited, not to say completely negligible. So even if the substance is released to a sewage treatment plant for further treatment, it is expected that TMPDA won’t be present in sludge.
TMPDA is mainly used as reactive processing aid and intermediate.
As a consequence, we can assume that soil is not exposed to TMPDA via the application of sewage sludge in agriculture.
2. Direct application of chemicals.
Based on the uses inventoried for TMPDA we can consider that there is no direct application of these substances on the soil compartment. Indeed, all uses are within industrial settings.
3. Deposition from the atmosphere.
Deposition from the atmospheric compartment involves volatilization, vaporization or direct release of a considered substance into the atmosphere. On plant production and on downstream's user plant, releases to atmosphere are controlled. The main releases are fugitive releases and are considered negligible. Thus we may assume that deposition on soil from the atmosphere is unexpected.
Based on these arguments no test is proposed for the soil compartment.
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.
