Description of key information
Sediment degradation half-life [HMDS] : 192 d at 12°C (OECD 308)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in freshwater sediment:
- 192 d
- at the temperature of:
- 12 °C
Additional information
Sediment degradation rates were determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test method.
The study was conducted under aerobic conditions with two aquatic freshwater sediment systems (Calwich Abbey Lake sediment: 15-18% w/w sand / 63-66% w/w silt / 19% w/w clay [textural class: Silt Loam]. % organic carbon: 4.8 % w/w; Emperor Lake sediment: 63-65% w/w sand / 13-15% w/w silt / 22% w/w clay [textural class: Sandy Clay Loam]. % organic carbon: 1.73 % w/w). A half-life of 192 days was estimated for transformation of HMDS in the Calwich Abbey Lake sediment system. For the Emperor Lake sediment system, a half-life of 53 days was determined. In both cases, the major degradation product was the hydrolytic product, trimethylsilanol; the total amount of CO2captured was very small in both systems, suggesting a low rate of mineralisation.
In a preliminary study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, a sediment degradation half-life of 34 days at 24°C and under aerobic conditions was determined in a preliminary study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol. The major degradation product was the hydrolytic product, trimethylsilanol, while CO2 generation was minimal.
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).
