Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Justification for type of information:
- See read-across justification report, attached to "biodegradation in water: screening tests" section.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Parameter:
- other: % degradation (based on ThOD)
- Value:
- 3.19
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- The biodegradability of DPX-C (Di-cloro-Di-p-Xililene) was 2.05, 2.05, 2.28 and 3.19% (based on ThOD, i.e., 2.194 mg O2/mg) on day 7, 14, 21, and 28, respectively. After 28 day of analysis, oxygen depletion was < 1.5 mg/L in the inoculum blank. The percent biodegradation data revealed that the DPX-C (Di-cloro-Di-p-Xililene) was not readily biodegradable.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Dibenzetano is estimated to be not ready biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
Dibenzetano is estimated to be not ready biodegradable from the result of the source study (see read across justification report).

Description of key information
The biodegradability of DPX-C (Di-cloro-Di-p-Xililene) was 2.05, 2.05, 2.28 and 3.19% (based on ThOD, i.e., 2.194 mg O2/mg) on day 7, 14, 21, and 28, respectively. After 28 day of analysis, oxygen depletion was < 1.5 mg/L in the inoculum blank. The percent biodegradation data revealed that the DPX-C (Di-cloro-Di-p-Xililene) was not readily biodegradable.
Biodegradation results of DPX-C were used in read-across also for the evaluation of the biodegradation of Dibenzetano (see also read-across justification).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
