Description of key information
The streams in this category are not considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Data from two biodegradation screening studies are available for one member of this category, 68476 -55 -1 (ExxonMobil Biomedical Sciences Inc., 2005 and Huntingdon Life Sciences, 2004). The results from both studies indicate only a very low level of biodegradation over 28 days. However, it is difficult to assess the persistence of UVCB streams using standard test methods as the tests measure the properties of the whole substance but do not provide information on the individual constituents. Instead, it is more appropriate to consider whether the representative components of these streams are persistent.
Representative components on these streams were identified from the compositional data. The representative components were alkanes and alkenes with a carbon number between C5 to C6. The biodegradation potential of these substances was predicted by two QSAR models, Biowin and BioHCwin. None of the various representative components would be expected to be persistent.
Members of this category are therefore not considered to be readily biodegradable but their components are expected to be biodegradable on the basis of the QSAR estimates for representative components.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
