Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
The concentrations in water and sediment are effectively independent of the compartment into which the emissions occur. Concentrations in air and soil depend on what compartment emissions occured to and are quite variable. Only emissions to air contribute to atmospheric concentrations whilst deposition in soil comes approximately 50/50 from direct emissions to soil and indirectly from emissions to air.
