Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Three reliable simulation studies of EDTMP-H in water and sediment systems are available. Low but recordable levels of removal are seen in such systems, particularly in the presence of natural or simulated light.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A degradation rate in river and lake waters of ca. 2 - 7% after 60 days was determined in a reliable study conducted according to generally accepted scientific principles. In the presence of natural light, 11 - 20% degradation was observed over the same time period (Saeger, 1978).
A degradation rate in a water-sediment microcosm of 10.4-25.2% after 38 days was determined in a reliable study conducted according to generally accepted scientific principles (Saeger, 1979).
A reliable test demonstrates that biodegradation subsequent to abiotic degradation (UV exposure, 5 h) results in significantly higher removals of EDTMP (based on TOC) than biodegradation alone, over 20-day duration period. A longer-duration bioreactor test showed significant removals based on TOC (Brandenburg Uni. Tech., 2010).
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.
