Description of key information
N,N-dimethylisopropylamine (DMIPA) is considered as not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The inherent biodegradability of N,N-dimethylisopropylamine (DMIPA) has been evaluated according to OECD 302B guideline using activated sludge taken from a BASF waste water treatment plant treating industrial sewage (study report, 1981). The substance has been found to be not easily eliminated from water since only 29% of degradation (DOC removal) was observed after 28days.
DMIPA can be considered as not inherently biodegradable.
As a supporting study, the readily biodegradability of DMIPA was evaluated according to ISO 7827 (Evaluation in an Aqueous Medium of the "Ultimate" Aerobic Biodegradability of Organic Compounds - Method by Anlaysis of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC)). The substance has been found to be not readily biodegradable with a maximum degradation of 5% obtained after 14 days.
The aerobic degradation of an analogue substance, ethyldiisopropylamine (EDIPA CAS 7087 -68 -5), has also been examined during 28 days according to the OECD guideline 301D and GLP requirements. As DMIPA, EDIPA is characterized by one tertiary amine functional group and alkyl substituents. At test termination, the biodegradation of EDIPA was 2% and thus, similarly to DMIPA, EDIPA was considered as not readily biodegradable.
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.
