Additional information
Reactive Black 5 was applied to a sediment/water test system at a final concentration of 1 mg/kg in the test system. The test substance (TS) was very rapidly degraded. The DT50 of the dye was 2 days. After 3 to 6 days, only 10% of the applied TS could be found. The two major identified metabolite were the bis-vinyl form, which further degraded to the hydroxy form. All metabolites decreased at the end of the test period to levels around the lower level of quantification. Consequently, an accumulation of metabolites could be excluded. The majority of the metabolites of the TS was deposited in form of non-extractable residues in sediment during test phase. After about 1 month, mineralization of the metabolites started.
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.
