Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation of cloquintocet-mexyl has been investigated in water, water/sediment systems and soil.
Biodegradation of cloquintocet-mexyl was observed in a screening test, but was not sufficient to conclude that cloquintocet-mexyl was “readily biodegradable”. Cloquintocet-mexyl rapidly degraded in aerobic and anaerobic water/sediment systems but slowly degraded in sterile condition. The half-lives of cloquintocet-mexyl in the water and the sediment phase were found to be 0.2 and 0.7 days respectively.
Biodegradation in soil under aerobic conditions was also very fast (DT50 from 0.2 to 2.4 days, depending on soil types and experimental conditions), while cloquintocet-mexyl persisted in anaerobic/sterile conditions.
The biodegradation of CGA153433, a relevant metabolite of cloquintocet-mexyl, was investigated in soil and water/sediment systems. Degradation was slower than the parent compound in every case.
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.
