Reference
Name:
Mixture of 2,4-xylenol and 2,5-xylenol (98%)
Type of composition:
legal entity composition of the substance
State / form:
solid: bulk
Reference substance:
Mixture of 2,4-xylenol and 2,5-xylenol (98%)
Reference substance:
Mixture of 2,4-xylenol and 2,5-xylenol (98%)
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Based on the mammalian and environmental toxicology data, the target substance does not meet the T criteria. No potential for bioaccumulation is expected for the target and source substances since the log KOWvalues are <3. The available biodegradation data show that it doesn’t fulfil the criteria to be classified as persistent either. Therefore, the target substance is not classified as PBT/vPvB.
