Description of key information
The target chemical is considered to be ready biodegradable, since four publications conducted with the source chemical indicate its biodegradability (reference 5.2.1-1 to 5.2.1-4).
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the source chemical, acetic acid, was tested in three experimental studies. The source chemical was exposed to different test systems, like synthetic sewage, activated sludge and domestic wastewater for 24 h until up to 20 days. The percentage biodegradation of the source chemical ranged from 40.2% after 24 h to 99% after 7 days. Since the source chemical is considered to be a suitable read across substance it can be assumed that the target chemical is also ready biodegradable. In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the evaluation of the biodegradation of Al as the inorganic part of the target substance is not considered relevant since the study for ready biodegradation does not need to be conducted for inorganic substances.
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.
