PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- Bismuth subsalicylate
- Type of composition:
- boundary composition of the substance
- State / form:
- solid: bulk
- Reference substance:
- Bismuth subsalicylate
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The bismuth component of bismuth subsalicylate cannot be degraded therefore the substance will be persistent.
The substance has a low estimated log Kow value indicating that it is unlikely to bioaccumulate. In addition, the available data for the uptake of bismuth in terrestrial plants and fungi all show the absence of bismuth accumulation from soil to plants.
The substance shows low aquatic toxicity (based on read-across) and low mammalian toxicity The substance shows low aquatic toxicity (based on read-across) and low mammalian toxicity and is not classified either as a CMR or as causing specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure according to the CLP Regulation.
Summary and overall Conclusions on PBT or vPvB Properties
The substance cannot be considered to fulfil all the criteria for Persistence, Toxicity or Bioaccumulation, as specified in REACH Annex XIII. As such, the substance cannot be considered a PBT or vPvB substance, based on the available data.
- Likely routes of exposure:
Not applicable
