Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on these model outputs, the NOM components would be expected to reside primarily in soil (if emitted to air or soil) and sediment (if emitted to surface water). As expected from the low vapour pressure, the NOM components are predicted to have low affinity for the atmospheric compartment. If emitted to the atmosphere, the substances would be transferred to surface water and soils via adsorption to and deposition of particles/aerosols. If emitted to water, the Level III model predicts that the NOM substance will be transferred primarily to associated sediments. However, because the NOM components are insoluble in, and less dense than water, the fraction associated with sediments will be much less than predicted. Instead, the substance will tend to float on the water surfaces, where it will be rapidly biodegraded.
