Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Partition coefficient in estuarine suspended matter Kpsusp= 56,234 l/kg (log Kp (pm/w) = 4.75) (50thpercentile)
Partition coefficient in marine suspended matter Kpsusp= 131,826 l/kg (log Kp (pm/w) = 5.12) (50thpercentile)
-Terrestrial compartment
Partitioning coefficient Kd value soil: 2120 L/kg(log Kp (pm/w) = 3.33) (50thpercentile)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Relevant partitioning coefficients are available from literature.
- For the aquatic compartment, the summaries from Heijerick and Van Sprang (2005 and 2008) have been agreed under the copper RAR (2008) and are used the risk characterization.
- For the terrestrial compartments, in the RA report, preference has been given to the Sauvé et al dataset as it covers the widest range of soil conditions relevant for the risk assessment and these have been used for the risk characterization under the copper RAR (2008).

Information on short term and long term attenuation of copper in soils as a function of soil chemistry was assessed by Ma et al., 2006a & 2006b. The soil and environmental factors governing short term attenuation and ageing rates are soil pH, organic matter content, incubation time and temperature with soil pH being the key factor for ageing of Cu added to soils.
From the field experiments and a mechanistic understanding of the decrease in bioavailable copper as a function of time following exposures, an ageing factor of 2 was derived as a reasonable worst case when considering field exposure data. This information is relevant to the soil PNEC derivation.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
