Reference
Name:
Octanal
Type of composition:
legal entity composition of the substance
State / form:
liquid
Reference substance:
Octanal
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The substance is not assessed as persistent (P), bioaccumulative (B), or toxic (T) under REACH Annex XIII. As such, the substance is not considered to be a PBT or vPvB substance.

The substance is readily biodegradable in the environment, hence the substance does not fulfil the P (persistent) or vP (very persistent) criteria.

The substance has a log Kow 4.5 and a low bioconcentration factor, and is therefore not considered to be bioaccumulative (B) or very bioaccumulative (vB).

The substance does not show any acute or chronic aquatic toxicity (NOEC/EC10 and LC/EC50) below 0.01 mg/L, and is not classified as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic to reproduction and is therefore not classified as toxic (T).
