Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
p-terphenyl
EC Number:
202-205-2
EC Name:
p-terphenyl
Cas Number:
92-94-4
Molecular formula:
C18H14
IUPAC Name:
1,1':4',1''-terphenyl
Details on test material:
The study was done on one of the isomers (p-terphenyl) which is only present in the registration substance in minor concentrations.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation
Type of inhalation exposure:
not specified
Details on inhalation exposure:
Concentrations:
- 3 mg/m3
- 35 mg/m3
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
not specified

Results and discussion

Critical effects observed:
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
After chronic exposure to 35 mg/m3 air, functional and morphological changes in the organs were observed. At a concentration of 3 mg/m3 this was not the case. The approximated maximum permissible concentration in air of working areas is therefor recommended to be 5 mg/m3.
