Description of key information
Additional information
HBCDD is predicted to partition in the environment to soil and sediment (approximately 98%) where it will bind extensively to organic carbon (estimated Kocsoil 1.25 x 105) and to be essentially immobile in soil. Based on a release of 1,000 kg/hr to air, water and soil, the predicted partitioning is: air 0.0007%, water 2.1%, soil 40% and sediment (58%) (Level III Fugacity Model, EPIWIN v3.04, Syracuse Research Corporation). Aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation in soil and sediment has been demonstrated in microcosms. Half-lives of 7 to 63 days (soil) and 1 to 32 days (sediment) has been demonstrated with the shortest half-lives in anaerobic systems. HBCDD is expected to partition from water to organic matter (biomass to water partition coefficient 1 x 107) (EPIWIN v3.04 Syracuse Research Corporation). Sewage treatment plants are predicted to remove HBCDD from the influent to a high degree (94% removal) via partitioning to sludge. Aerobic biodegradation in the treatment plant is not expected. Degradation in the anaerobic digester of treatment plants is expected.
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).
