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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to terrestrial arthropods

Description of key information
According to Commission Directive 96/12/EC the toxicity (mortality and sublethal effects) of the active substance to selected arthropod species must be investigated. No studies are supplied for this point. Methyl bromide is intended for use as a space and pre-planting soil fumigant. In cases where it is applied to the soil there will be no vegetation present when it is applied. It can therefore be assumed that foliage dwelling arthropods will not be affected. However, it is likely that application of methyl bromide will have a negative effect on populations of ground dwelling arthropods. Repeated exposure is not expected as methyl bromide will only be applied once per year. This should significantly reduce the effect that methyl bromide will have on arthropod populations in the soil. Therefore full re-population of treated areas should occur.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
