Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Biodegradation screening tests indicate poor biodegradability of diethylenetriamine, due to toxicity/inhibition of the inoculum by the high concentrations employed. A single test, using low ratio of test substance to inoculum concentration, showed "ready biodegradabilty" after an approximately 12 day lag phase. Simulation tests in activated sludge, sewage, soil, and lake waters indicate that the substance is rapidly and ultimately biodegraded in a wide range of environments, even without having prior exposure/adaptation to the substance. The substance has been shown to be completely removed in activated sludge wastewater treatment process, following an adaptation period. Half-lives for primary biodegradation in surface waters are on the order of 20 -28 days. The half-life for complete mineralization in surface soils is conservatively estimated to be approximately 30 days. These results in simulation tests are consistent with a "readily biodegradable" substance.
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.
