Description of key information
Additional information
The complex composed of boron trifluoride and acetonitrile is extremely water sensitive and is even reacting with moist air. Both of these compounds were regarded below.
Acetonitrile:
The read across substance (acetonitrile) was determined to be readily biodegradable by non-acclimated activated sludge according to OECD guideline 310 (Brixham Environmental Laboratories, 2010). More than 60% degradation was achieved within the 10-day window, so the test item can be classified as readily biodegradable.
BF3:
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 Annex VII 9.2.1.1 column 2 the study for ready biodegradability does not need to be conducted if the substance is inorganic. Boron trifluoride is an inorganic substance.
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.
