PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- 3-methylsulfolane
- Type of composition:
- legal entity composition of the substance
- State / form:
- liquid
- Reference substance:
- 3-methylsulfolane
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Based on a read-across approach, the substance is concluded as not ready biodegradable, potentially P. When microorganisms are adapted, biodegradation may occur in STP conditions or in soil, therefore the substance should not be considered as vP.
Based on its very low Log Kow, the substance is expected not bioaccumulative, thus not B or vB.
Based on its low ecotoxicity and long-term toxicity profile, the substance is considered not toxic, thus not T.
Overall the substance is concluded as not PBT or vPvB.
