Description of key information
The substance ist readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Additional information
In a DOC removal test according to ISO 7827 the biodegradation of sebacic acid was investigated [BASF AG, 1990]. After 7 days 98 % degradation was determined. Additionally a study on biodegradation of sebacic acid in seawater was conducted according to OECD 306 [BASF SE, 2009]. With a biodegradation of 89 % after 28 days this test confirms the previous result.
Secaic acid is readily biodegradable. In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that the study on soil and sediment simulation testing does not need to be conducted if the substance is 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.
