Reference
Name:
Reaction mass of methyl 2-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate and methyl toluene-4-sulphonate
Type of composition:
boundary composition of the substance
State / form:
liquid
Reference substance:
Reaction mass of methyl 2-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate and methyl toluene-4-sulphonate
Reference substance:
Reaction mass of methyl 2-methylbenzene-1-sulfonate and methyl toluene-4-sulphonate
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

A ready biodegradation of 48 % was observed after 28 d, which is a good evidence for the test substance being potentially P but not vP. A logKow of 2.3 (<4.5) was determined for the test substance. Thus it is neither B nor vB.

No evidence for classification of test substance as CMR or chronic toxic has been found regarding the environment or towards humans based on available data.

Thus, the test substance is neither vPvB nor PBT.
