Description of key information
Additional information
In a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301 B (Ready Biodegradability: CO2 Evolution Test) citronellal proved to be readily biodegradable and fulfilling the 10 -d window criterion. Citronellal was biodegraded by 83% (28 d) based on the ratio of % CO2/ThCO2. In a further study conducted according to EU Method C.4-D (Determination of the "Ready" Biodegradability - Manometric Respirometry Test), citronellal proved to be readily biodegradable, but failing the 10 -d window criterion (ca. 63% after 28 d based on BOD/ThOD).
Citronellal thus is regarded as readily biodegradable accoprding to OECD criteria.
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).
