Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the results from ready biodegradability tests showing that all major constituents are readily biodegradable, it can be concluded that Pinus maritima oil is expected to be readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

All major constituents ofPinus maritimaoil are considered readily biodegradable (see table below).

Reference in IUCLID 5

(d,l)-limonene

5 %

Readily biodegradable

(d,l)-limonene, 138-86-3, Biodegradation in water: screening tests, MITI, 1980, RS, W

alpha-pinene

60 %

Readily biodegradable

alpha-pinene, 80-56-8, Biodegradation in water: screening tests, MITI, 2007, RS, W

beta-pinene

30 %

Readily biodegradable

beta-pinene, 127-91-3, Biodegradation in water: screening tests, van Ginkel, 2010, RS, W

 

 

Therefore, based on a Weight of Evidence approach, it can be possible to consider that Pinus maritimaoil is readily biodegradable.
