Description of key information

The PBT Profiler has estimated that difluoroacetic acid is expected to to be found predominantly in soil and its persistence estimate is based on its availablility in this medium.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in soil:
17 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The PBT Profiler has estimated that difluoroacetic acid is expected to to be found predominantly in soil and its persistence estimate is based on its availablility in this medium. Its half life in soil is found to be 17 days (408 hours ) which does not exceed the EPI criteria of >= 2months and (<= 6 months ). Therefore, difluoroacetic acid is estimated to be non persistent in the soil environment.
