Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The half-life of a read-across source substance for Benzene, C15-16-alkyl derivs. in soil that was treated with sludge was examined, and the half-life was determined to be 15.3 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 15.3 d
Additional information
In cases where no data were available on the target substance, Benzene, C15-16-alkyl derivs., data were read-across from a structurally related material (the test substance).
The half-life of a read-across source substance for Benzene, C15-16-alkyl derivs. in soil that was treated with sludge was examined. Sludge was applied by subsurface injection into the soil of three farms in the UK, and samples were collected for analysis over 105 days. Results indicate that there was a 98% removal rate of the test substance from the soil. The soil half-life was determined to be 15.3 days.
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.
