Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Kd was derived from measurements in 60 paired samples of sludge and effluent in 18 sewage treatment plants in southern and northern Europe. The sampling procedure and analyses were carried out with a high level of quality control and the variation due to analytical error was low. The ratio between the concentration in effluent and the concentration in sludge, expressed as the log Kd-value is fairly constant for all the data of this monitoring study. 80% of the values is between 3.2 and 3.75, which is on a linear scale only a factor of 3.5. When all log Kd-values are considered together the extreme values for OTNE varied between 2.98 and 4.18 which on a linear scale represents a factor of 16. The mean Kd-value was used to estimate log Koc, using the mean fraction of organic carbon in the sludge, resulting in log Koc = 4.12.
