Definition of 1,5,9-Cyclododecatriene (CDDT):
1,5,9-Cyclododecatriene is a liquid with a yellow tint and pungent odour. [1]
This is the common definition for 1,5,9-Cyclododecatriene (CDDT), other definitions can be discussed in the article

Notes

1,5,9 cyclododecatriene
CDDT
Formula
C12H18

CDDT is used to produce cyclododecane, which is used in the production of dodecanedioic acid.

It has a high volatility, therefore half of the concentration in a river can be evaporated in less than 1,3 hours. In the atmosphere it will be degraded rapidly (less than 30 minutes). As a consequence CDDT will be found mostly in soils, and very little in water, air or sediment. It however is considered not to be biodegradable. It has a low tendency towards bioaccumulation. Concentrations above 0,2 mg/l cause acute toxicity to fish, algae and invertebrates. Doses of 2,5 g/kg body weight were lethal to rats.

Considering CDDT it is only used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals, its high volatility and degradability, it has only a minor potential aquatic exposure and thus also only a minor risk to aquatic organisms.[1]
