Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification:

Persistence (P) Assessment:

A substance is not considered to be persistent if it can be demonstrated that it has potential to degrade (via photolysis, hydrolysis and/or biodegradation). The ready biodegradation potential of Vetimoss was determined in a Manometric Respirometry Test according to OECD Technical Guideline 301F. The degradation rate of Vetimoss never reached 10%. Therefore, Vetimoss: 2-tert-butyl-1,4-dimethoxybenzene is considered to be not readily biodegradable. The potential for Vetimoss to hydrolyse at 3 different pHs was examined in a study undertaken in accordance with OECD 111. Vetimoss is hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 50°C. Vetimoss is considered potentially P/vP but there are no data available for the inherent biodegradation potential or potential degradation in different environmental media to confirm this classification. Therefore, Vetimoss is considered potentially Persistent (P) and/or very Persistent (vP) until more data are available.

Bioaccumulation (B) Assessment:

Vetimoss has a log Kow of <4.5 and therefore can be classified as not bioaccumulative (B).

 

Toxicity (T) Assessment:

As Vetimoss is not B/vB, a toxicity assessment is not required.

 

Conclusion of PBT/vPvB assessment

The available data showed that Vetimoss is potentially P/vP but, as it is not B/vB based on the log Kow, therefore Vetimoss is not PBT or vP/vB.
