Description of key information
Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) Suite (2016) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound D & C Orange No. 5 (CAS No. 596 -03 -2). Half-life period of D & C Orange No. 5 in water is estimated to be 60 days (1440 hrs.) while in sediment it is 541.6 days (13000 hrs). Based on these half-life values of D & C Orange No. 5, it is concluded that the chemical is persistent in both water and in sediment.

- 60 d
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
- Half-life in freshwater sediment:
- 541.6 d
- at the temperature of:

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.
