Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
Ammonium carbamate was rapidly degraded in a screening test on readily biodegradation conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 B.under the test conditions. At the end of the test a biodegradation of > 80% was achieved. The DOC measurement at start of of exposure clearly shows carbon dioxide was formed by decarboxylation within a short time after adding the test substance to the test medium.
Given the rapid decomposition of ammonium carbonate under nneutral and weakly acidic conditions (see section on stability) it is likely that the degradation was caused by abiotic processes too.
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.
