Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment: overall result

Reference
Name:
Reaction mass of 4-sulphophthalic acid and 3-sulphophthalic acid
Type of composition:
legal entity composition of the substance
State / form:
solid: bulk
Reference substance:
Reaction mass of 4-sulphophthalic acid and 3-sulphophthalic acid
Reference substance:
Reaction mass of 4-sulphophthalic acid and 3-sulphophthalic acid
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

There are no biodegradation studies on the reaction mass of 4 -sulphophthalic acid and 3 -sulphophthalic acid (read across target substance) and biodegradation information was read across to the reaction mass of 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 4-sulfo-, trisodium salt, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3-sulfo-, sodium salt (1:3), sodium sulphate (read across source substance). The sulphophthalic acid sodium salt reaction mass was 90 -100% biodegradable after 28-days in the DOC Die-Away Test. Based on the determined rate of biodegradation at the end of exposure the test substance can be evaluated as readily biodegradable.
