Description of key information
A simulation study indicates that benzyl butyl phthalate degrades rapidly in natural river water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of benzyl butyl phthalate, as shown in screening tests, means that a key simulation study is not required.
An existing simulation study (Saeger, 1982) reports that the half life of the test substance is 0.5 and 1.4 days with initial test substance concentrations of 50 and 500 µg/L respectively. This is used as a supporting study.
.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.
