Description of key information
Additional information
Ethyl methyl sulphide (EMS) was found to be inherently biodegradable with 92% of biodegradation obtained in an OECD 301D test with adapted bacteria. Due to the structural properties of the substance, hydrolysis of EMS is not expected under environmental conditions. EMS is not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic or terrestrial organism tissues due to its high water solubilty and its low log Kow. For the same reasons, the substance is not expected to sorb on soil particles and sediment.
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.
