Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The test substance is not expected to be directly applied to sediment and an indirect exposure to sediment is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable and has a low sorption potential to organic matter (Koc= 10 L/kg, logKow = -2.4).For substances being considered as readily biodegradable, it can be assumed that they will be biologically degraded within the STP-process. Further a water/sediment biodegradation study demonstrated that TEA will not persist in sediment, as the mineralization half-life was 7.2 d. Based on the low sorption potential and the short half life in a water/sediment, exposure to the substance is unlikely hence, no tests on sediment organisms are provided.
