Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
4-Aminopyridine, present at 100 mg/L, reached 0% of its theoretical BOD in 28 days using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test.
Executive summary:

A 0% of theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test suggests that 4-aminopyridine is not readily biodegradable under environmental conditions.
