Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two tests on the biodegradation of Methylionone are available. The ready biodegradability of the substance was tested in a study conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 301F. After an incubation period of 28 days a degradation by 76 % based on O2consumption was determined (Givaudan 2000). In a second test system, also set up according to OECD guideline 301 F, the influence of Methylionone on the O2consumption of activated sludge was determined. The test was terminated after 28 days of incubation and a degradation rate of 40 - 50 % was determined (BASF AG, 1996).
Based on the more recent OECD 301F study (Givaudan, 2000), Methylionon can be considered to be readily biodegradable.
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.
