Description of key information
Based on the results, S-allyl O-pentyl dithiocarbonate is readily biodegradable: 73.74 % was degraded in 8 days (at initial pH 7.4 and 25 oC). The calculated half-life (t1/2) was 4.6 d. Xanthates with branched alkyl chains can be expected to have slightly lower rate of biodegradation. The results show the rapid biodegradability of the initial substance, but suggest that the main degradation products which cannot be further mineralised by microbes are carbon disulfide, monothiocarbonate and dixanthogen, which accumulated in the test solution. Despite of that, no significant toxic or inhibitory effects on micro-organisms were observed at an initial test concentration of 30 mg/L.
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.
