Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No sediment toxicity studies are available for epichlorohydrin.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Epichlorohydrin has a log Kow value than is less than 3 (log Kow = 0.45), and has a low potential for adsorption or binding to sediments (estimated Koc = 15 L/kg). In addition, direct and indirect exposure of the sediment is unlikely since epichlorohydrin is manufactured and used under controlled conditions and is not expected to be released into the aquatic environment. Additionally, a semi-quantitative risk assessment revealed that the PEC/PNECsediment for epichlorphydrin was < 1 (Chapter 10 of the CSR). Thus, no sediment testing is necessary for epichlorohydrin.
