Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Readily biodegradation: After 14 d, 0 % of 4 -chlorotoluene were degraded preforming a ready biodegradabiltiy test corresponding to OECD 301C (MITI, 1992).
Inherently biodegradation: 4 -Chlorotoluene was degraded about 86 % after 28 d testing the inherent biodegradability of the test substance. Due to the significant elimination (68 %) within 3 h there is evidence that the disappearance of p-chlorotoluene is caused by physico-chemical effects rather than biodegradation processes.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
