Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
DEGDN (10 ppm) in river and pond sediment was completely degraded within 21 days under all combinations of sterile, nonsterile, aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, no biotransformation products could be identified by HPLC.
Since nonsterile-aerobic treatment of DEGDN-spiked sediments followed a first-order kinetic loss pattern, the sterile -aerobic treatment did not, several proccess, including sterilization of samples, probably contributed to the loss of parent compound. Thus, the data suggest that most DEGDN is nonbiologically removed from river and pond sediments.
The DEGDN undergoes biotransformation by microorganisms in either batch or continuous cultures under aerobic conditions during 6 days. The degradation proceeds via a sequential stepwise hydrolytic cleavage of the nitrate groups resulting in the formation of the partially nitrated parent glycols. The disappearance of the mononitrate esters suggests that they were converted to the corresponding glycols. This hypothesis could not be verified experimentally in this 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.
