Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Using standard ready biodegradation test conditions, the test chemical displays negligible degradation.

1) Key: Biodegradation screening test: K2, per OECD 301F & GLP guideline; not readily biodegradable

2) Supporting: biodegradation screening test: K2, per OECD 301F & GLP guideline; not readily biodegradable

As a consequence the biodegradation potential of DAPD was further assessed in a number of inherent biodegradation studies. In these studies a surfactant is added to the test bottles in order to enhance the water solubility of the test substance, a lower concentration of test substance is used and an elevated sludge concentration when compared to a ready biodegradation test.

3) Supporting: Inherent biodegradation test: K2, per OECD 302C: no degradation

4) Supporting: Inherent biodegradation test: K1, per OECD 301B and 302C & GLP guideline; potential to degrade

5) Key: Inherent biodegradation test: K1, per OECD 301B and 302C & GLP guideline; inherent biodegradation observed

 

In these inherent biodegradation tests it was demonstrated that slow inherent biodegradation of DAPD does occur, yielding 23 to 37% of mineralisation after 56 -63 days. Furthermore, primary degradation of DAPD into water soluble metabolites / degradation products was found to occur much faster and lead to the complete removal of the parent compound from the test system within 28 days.
