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

The pyridine bases contained in the UVCB substance are not rapidly degraded by hydrolysis or photodegradation. The substance was not readily degradable in a standard test according to OECD TG 301. A number of published studies demonstrated that picolines and lutidines are biodegraded by a variety of micro-organisms present in natural surface waters or soils. More rapid degradation occurred under aerobic conditions. Nevertheless, the available biodegradation study showing no ready biodegradability and the lack of information on appropriate environmental half-lives are suggesting that the substance may be relatively persistent under environmental conditions.

The substance has a very low organic carbon-water partition coefficient and is considered as highly mobile in soil and sediment. Furthermore, the substance has no potential for bioaccumulation.
