Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Bromochloromethane is expected to exist solely as a vapour in the atmosphere due to its vapour pressure of 142 mm Hg at 25 ºC. In the atmosphere it will be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. The estimated atmospheric half-life using EPI-Suite is of 107.63 days. In the study carried out by Wuebbles, DJ et all. it is reported an atmospheric lifetime of 0.4 years. Special attention should be given to its impact on the ozone layer, as bromochloromethane is considered an ozone depleting substance, on the basis of its Ozone Depletion Potential of 0.11 -0.13.
If released to soil, bromochloromethane is expected to have very high mobility, on the basis of the estimated Koc value of 21.73. The estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.00299 atm · m3/mole esteem that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is an important fate process. Based on its vapour pressure, bromochloromethane is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces.
If released to water, the estimated Koc value of 21.73 indicates that bromochloromethane will not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment. On the basis of the estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.00299 atm · m3/mole, volatilization from water surfaces is expected. An estimated Bioaccumulation Factor (BCF) of 3.957 l/kg wet-wt suggests a low potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms. Results from a scientific article suggest that biodegradation could be relevant to aquatic fate.
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.
