PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The ECHA guidance document R.11 gives the criteria to be used in the assessment of PBT and vPvB properties. These include also screening criteria for the assessment of persistence and bioaccumulation potential.
A substance is considered as persistent in the environment if its half-life in fresh or estuarine water is greater than 40 days, or in marine water is greater than 60 days, or in fresh sediment, estuarine sediment or soil is greater than 120 days or in marine sediment is greater than 180 days. A screening criterion has been established for the assessment of the persistence of a substance in the environment, which is that the substance must not fulfil the criterion for ready biodegradability in a valid screening test. According to ECHA guidance document R.11, a substance which is classified as readily biodegradable on the basis of a screening test (fulfilling or not fulfilling the 10-day window) is not fulfilling the criteria for persistence.
A substance is considered as bioaccumulative if the bioconcentration factor is greater than 2000 L/kg. A screening criterion has been established for the assessment of the bioaccumulation potential of a substance, which is a log Kow greater than 4.5. According to ECHA guidance document R.11, for organic substances with a log Kow value below 4.5 it is assumed that its bioconcentration factor, i.e. its affinity to partition into the lipids of organisms, is below 2000 L/kg.
A substance is considered as toxic if the long-term NOEC for marine or freshwater organisms is less than 0.01 mg/L, the substance is classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction, or there is evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications T, R48 or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/EEC. A screening criterion for environmental toxicity has been established for substances, for which long-term tests are lacking. According to ECHA guidance document R.11, a substance is considered to potentially meet the criteria for toxicity when an acute E(L)C50 value from a standard toxicity test is less than 0.1 mg/L.
Persistence Assessment
As the substance was found to be readily biodegradable in a screening test on ready biodegradability, it is not fulfilling the P-criteria.
Bioaccumulation Assessment
As the log Kow of Ebanol is 4.2, the substance is likely to have a BCF below 2000 kg/L. The substance is not fulfilling the B-criteria.
Toxicity Assessment
None of the available standard toxicity tests in fish, daphnids or algae resulted in E(L)C50 values of less than 0.1 mg/L. The substance is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction. Finally, the substance is not classified for chronic toxicity. The substance is not fulfilling the T criteria.
Summary and overall Conclusions on PBT or vPvB Properties
The substance is not fulfilling the PBT or vPvB-criteria and therefore is not PBT or vPvB.
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).
