Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation in water : screening test:
Biodegradability of test chemical Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS no.17691 -19 -9) was estimated by
using OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 by considering six closest read across chemicals with log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid undergoes 0.3% biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter and microrganisms as inoculum in 28 days. On the basis of this percent biodegradability value it can be concluded that test chemical Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate is not readily biodegradable.
Additional information
Biodegradation in water : screening test:
Various predicted data for the target compoundSodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate ( CAS no. 17691 -19 -9) and supporting weight of evidence studies for its read across substance were reviewed for the biodegradation end point which are summarized as below:
Biodegradability of test chemical Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS no.17691 -19 -9) was estimated by using OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 by considering six closest read across chemicals with log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid undergoes 0.3% biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter and microrganisms as inoculum in 28 days. On the basis of this percent biodegradability value it can be concluded that test chemical Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate is not readily biodegradable.
The above prediction was supported by experimental data summarized in Chemosphere , Vol 28 , pp 2203-2236 1994 for the structurally similar read across substance Sodium [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-sulphonate (2217-82-5).
The test chemical Sodium [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-sulphonate when subjected for biodegradation test , showed less then 20% biodegradation . Hence, Sodium [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-sulphonate can be considered as not readily biodegradable .
The above experimental data was further supported by experimental result summarized in J-CHECK Japan Chemicals Collaborative Knowledge database, 2017 for structurally similar read across substance Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (CAS:127-68-4).
The test material Sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate of initial concentration (100 mg/l) when subjected to activated sludge (30mg/l) for two weeks to evaluate biodegradation potential , the biodegradation percentage was observed to be 4.6, Hence, On the basis of above result Sodium 3 nitrobenzenesulfonate is considered to be not readily biodegradable.
On the basis of above results for target chemical4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate(from OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 and EPI suite, 2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK & Chemosphere , Vol 28 , pp 2203-2236 1994), it can be concluded that the test substance4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonatecan be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
