Description of key information

Additional information

The substance methyl benzoate has a low octanol-water partition coefficient with a value log Kow = 2.2. According to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX, column 2 substances have a low potential for bioaccumulation if the log Kow < 3. It is therefore anticipated that the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation. Further, available toxicokinetic information gives evidence of rapid transformation of the substance in organisms to non-accumulative metabolites.
