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.

Additional information

Cyprosulfamide is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of the manometric respirometry test (30 % after 28d; OECD 301 F).

Degradation half-lives in total water/sediment systems ranged from 144.6 - 335.4 days (recalculated to 12 °C) under aerobic conditions and from 442.8 - 452.8 days (recalculated to 12 °C) under anaerobic conditions. Aerobic mineralization reached a maximum of 19.2% applied radioactivity (AR) after 132 days. No anaerobic mineralization was observed after 155 days.

The substance degrades in soil under aerobic laboratory conditions with half-lives of 4.9 - 22.5 days (recalculated to 12 °C) and a mineralization to 14CO2 of 43 - 61.9% AR after 120 days.

Cyprosulfamide is hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 and a temperature of 25°C.

The substance is expected to be dissociated under environmental pH values of 5-9 due to a measured pKa of 4.2 (OECD 112).

The log Pow of the substance at pH 4 is 1.77 and decreases with increasing pH. At pH 7 a log Pow of -0.80 and at pH 9 a log Pow of -1.81 was determined. Therefore, the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation.

The log Koc values determined for the substance in seven different soils at neutral pH are 0.9 - 1.88 L/kg (OECD 106). Accordingly, the potential to adsorb to soil and suspended particles is low.

In irradiated solution the substance degraded with a half-life of 3.5 -5.0 days under study conditions, equivalent to a calculated half-life of about 6 days in natural sunlight. The soil photolysis is a minor degradation pathway; the equivalent mean DT50 data for moderate light intensity is 63 - 144 days.

The substance has a vapour pressure of < 0.00001 Pa at 20 °C with a calculated Henry Law Constant of 1.80E-9 Pa x m³/mole (25 °C). Evaporation and subsequent tranport through the atmosphere are not expected. A rapid photodregradation by reaction with photogenerated hydroxyl radicals with a DT50 of 4 hours was calculated for Cyprosulfamide. Thus, air is not a likely route of environmental contamination and accumulation and subsequent deposition of the substance is not expected.
