Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

Coumarin pure crystal undergoes 90% biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions. Biodegradation starts on day 2 and reaches 85% at the end of the 10-day window (days 2 to 12).

Thus coumarin pure crystal should be regarded as readily biodegradation according to this test.

The curves obtained with the reference substance alone and with coumarin pure crystals + reference substance show no toxic effect of coumarin pure crystal to the micro-organisms at the test concentration.
