Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Data on the stability of 3-methylpyridine in the environment are limited. Hydrolysis of the methylpyridines is not expected to be an important mechanism of abiotic degradation due to the lack of hydrolysable functional groups. Photolysis of 4-methylpyridine by vacuum ultraviolet radiation in the 100 nm to 300 nm band has been shown, although absorption of environmental UV radiation at wavelengths greater than 290 nm is not expected to be substantial. Since 3-methylpyridine has been shown to be readily biodegradable, biodegradation is expected to be a more important environmental fate process than abiotic degradation.
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.
