Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that long-term toxicity testing shall be proposed by the registrant if the results of the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the effects of the substance and/or degradation products on terrestrial organisms. It is also stated that these studies do not need to be conducted if direct and indirect exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely. 

There are no defined uses where direct exposure of this substance to the soil compartment is likely. Also, as this substance is readily biodegradable, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence indirect transfer to the soil compartment from sludge is not expected. Furthermore, the results from an earthworm study have been used to assess the hazard to terrestrial organisms and further investigation of the effects of the substance and/or its breakdown products on additional terrestrial organisms is not justified and are waived.

Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods

In an acute toxicity study to earthworms conducted to determine the effect of DPGDB (HLS 1998, VCL 259/972156), no mortalities were seen during the study, and all worms were normal in appearance on days 7 and 14 of the test. Under the conditions of this study, the LC50 value of DPGDB to the earthworm was found to be in excess of 1000 ppm. The no observed effect level (NOEL) was considered to be 1000 ppm.
