Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No reliable guideline study has been identified for biodegradability, therefore a weight of evidence assessment has been used to determine the biodegradability of 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene. Based on the assessment of four studies, Hutchins (1992), Marion and Melaney (1963), Leahy (2003) and CITI (1977), as well as QSAR predictions (Biowin and BioHCwin) and read across from m-xylene, o-xylene and p-xylene, structural analogues, the substance is considered to be biodegradable and would not be persistent in the environment.
1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene is expected to have low potential for bioaccumulation based on an experimental log Kow of 3.63. The estimated Koc value of 1097 indicates that the substance is expected to have low adsorption to suspended solids and sediment in water. Structural analysis of the 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene molecule indicated that it is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups.
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.
