Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 soil: simulation testing
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:

Transformation products:
not specified

Description of key information

This endpoint is not relevant for "Neutralisation and reduction products of bauxite residue from refinement process" because the substance is inorganic and testing is technically not possible (see REACH Annex XI, point 2).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

For an inorganic substance biotic degradation in the environment is an irrelevant process. Here, the chemical assessment is based on the elemental concentration (i.e. pooling all aluminium speciations). Biotic processes may alter the speciation of an element, but it will not eliminate the element from the environment by degradation or transformation processes.
