Description of key information
Additional information
Dimethyl phosphonate is not readily biodegradable. Studies on biodegradation revealed a DOC of 50% and a BOD of 48% after 28 d (Bayer AG, 1992; MITI, 1992). The majority of carbon determined after 28 d should be based on monomethyl phosphonate which is hydrolysed slower than dimethyl phosphonate and is more stable in aqueous solutions. Hydrolysis of dimethyl phosphonate and monomethyl phosphonate is the determining factor for the speed at which biodegradation of dimethyl phosphonate occurs.
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.
