Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
2-chlorobenzonitrile remains mainly in hydrosphere (67 %) and atmosphere (32 %). The distribution into soil and sediments (0.8 % each) is negligible.
Executive summary:

The distribution of 2-chlorobenzonitrile into the environmental compartments air, water, soil, and sediment was modeled using the the Mackay Model Level I v.2.11 (1999). The folleing input parameter were used:

- Molecular weight: 137.57 g/mol

- log Kow (measured): 2.2

- Temperatur: 25 °C

- Water solubility (calculated): 0.6 g/L

- Vapour pressure: 0.06 hPa

Target compartments od 2-chlorobenzonitrile are hydrosphere (67 %) and atmosphere (32 %). The distribution into soil and sediments (0.8 % each) is negligible.
