Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
With an atmospheric half life of 7.82 days, 3-pentanone is slowly degraded by OH-radicals in the atmosphere. In water, half life strongly depends on OH concentration. At high OH concentrations during summer at the water surface of an mid-european lake, the half life is ca. 40 days whereas half life at average OH concentrations over the whole water column can be assumed with ca. 3301 days. Therefore degradation in surface water is not expected to be an important fate path in the environment as well as hydrolysis because the molecule lacks hydrolysable functional groups.
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.
