PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP, CAS 872-50-4)is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria, therefore the substance is not P or vP. The substance does not accumulate in organisms, based on a measured Log Kow of -0.46 and is, therefore, not B or vB. Regarding 'T', the lowest available chronic value is > 0.01 mg/L (Daphnids: 21-d NOEC = 12.5 mg/L) and the substance holds no official classification. However, due to effects on reproduction of mammals the substance has to be regarded as toxic.
In summary, the substance does not fulfill the PBT and vPvB criteria.
