Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
If released to air, a vapor pressure of 35.3 mm Hg at 25oC indicates dibromomethane will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. This tendency is predicted by Level III Fugacity Model:

If released to soil, dibromomethane is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 29.86. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon a Henry's Law constant of 8.22X10-4atm m3/mole. Dibromomethane may volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. This tendency is predicted by Level III Fugacity Model:

If released into water, dibromomethaneis not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water based upon the Koc and by Level III Fugacity Model. Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be a significant transport mechanism based upon Henry's Law constant and estimated volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2 hours and 6 days, respectively. On the other hand, Level III Fugacity Model predicted 84% of the substance remains in water and thus, dibromomethane can be available to biotic and abiotic degradations processes in water.

If released to air soil and water dibromomethane is tending to distribute among these three compartments almost equally as predicted by Level III Fugacity Model:

As predicted by Level III Fugacity Model dibromomethane is tending to distribute among water soil and air compartments almost equally. Thus, dibromomethane is expected to undergo biotic and abiotic degradation processes in each of these three compartments.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
