Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Description of key information
The degradation of the test item can be measured only for the organic compound acetate and not for the element Chromium. The organic compound is readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In general biodegradation in water, sediment and soil is not an applicable endpoint for pure inorganic substances. However, in a GLP guideline study conducted according to OECD 301A Muckle & Paulus (2008) investigated the biodegradation potential of chromium triacetate. Since the substance is a metal salt with an organic counter ion, results on biodegradation obtained in this study, solely refer to the organic part of the substance and not to chromium, i.e. acetic acid. Results are based on the removal of dissolved organic carbon. The 10-day-window started on day 1, on day 9, 92% was reached, surpassing the pass level of 70% stated in the OECD Guideline. The degree of biodegradation reached 92% after 9 days. As a plateau had been reached and no further degradation was likely to take place, the test was ended. Thus the organic compound can be considered to be 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.
