Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The PBT Profiler has estimated that 4-fluoroaniline is expected to be found predominantly in soil and its persistence estimate is based on its transformation in this medium. Its half-life in soil, 75 days, suggest that 4-fluoroaniline is moderately persistent in the environment.
Executive summary:

The PBT Profiler has estimated that 4-fluoroaniline is expected to be found predominantly in soil and its persistence estimate is based on its transformation in this medium. Its half-life (50% degradation) in soil, 75 days, suggest that 4-fluoroaniline is moderately persistent in the environment.
