Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Distribution in the environment
Thymidine is an organic solid at environmental temperatures. The substance is highly water soluble, has a low log Pow and low volatility. Released into the environment Thymidine is likely to distribute into water and soil. A predicted acid dissociation constant (pKa) value of 9.28 suggests that the substance will exist almost entirely as a charged molecule in the environmentally-relevant pH range of 6 – 9, with the substance existing primarily as a protonated cation and acting as a weak base. Therefore, when released to the environment Thymidine is expected to partition predominantly into water, although partitioning to soil and, to a lesser extent sediment, may also occur depending upon the compartment of release.
Degradation
Thymidine was shown to be ready biodegradable in a biodegradation study, with 97 % degradation after 9 days and 99 % degradation after 28 days. With ready biodegradability confirmed, further assessment of degradation in sediment and water as well as soil was waived. Further, assessment of abiotic degradation was waived.
Bioaccumulation
Based on the log Pow of < 0.3 the substance is considered to have no bioaccumulation potential. Accumulation in the food chain is highly unlikely.
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.
