Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests:

The substance 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is 50% biodegradable in water in 38 days (half-life). This value indicates that 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is readily biodegradable in water since the half life is less than the EPA criteria of >= 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent). Hence the substance 2, 2, 2-trichloro-1-phenylethyl acetate is not persistent in water.

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests:

The substance 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is 50% biodegradable in water and sediment in 38 days and in 340 days respectively. This values indicates that 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is readily biodegradable in water not readily biodegradable in sediment since the half life is more than the EPA criteria of >= 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent). Hence the substance is persistent in water but not in sediment.

Biodegradation in soil:

The substance 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is 50% biodegradable in soil in 75 days (half-life). This value indicates that 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is not readily biodegradable in soil since the half life is more than the EPA criteria of >= 60 days (to qualify the chemical as persistent). Hence the substance 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid is persistent in soil.
