Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

  • The phototransformation half-life in air was found by Taylor et al. (1992) to be between 87.2 and 50.2 days in the temperature range from 295 to 339 K and with a OH-radical concentration of 5x10-5/cm3. This result was supported by AOPWIN (half-life: 46.78 days with 12h- day and 1.5E6 OH/cm3 at 25°C).
  • Hydrolysis testing (UNEP, 2000; Vogel et al., 1987, HYDROWIN) showed that the substance was stable at pH = 7 and at temperatures of 20 to 25°C.
  • The potential of 1,1,2-tricholoethane to undergo biodegradation and bioaccumulation is considered to be low.
  • Environmental modeling (Mckay model) show that, if 1,1,2-trichloroethane is released into air, it is unlikely to be distributed into any other compartments. If 1,1,2-trichloroethane is released into water or soil, it is likely to be transported to air for some part. (SIDS, 2000, EPI suite)
