Assessment of persistence, mobility and toxicity (PMT) of 167 REACH registered substances

Abstract

For the first time a comprehensive list of 167 ⁠REACH⁠ registered substances were assessed with respect to their intrinsic substance properties persistence in the aquatic environment, mobility in the aquatic environment and toxicity. The results of this project will support the ongoing discussion to define PMT criteria under REACH. The present study provides a consolidated list of (in order of priority) assessed PaqMT substances (9 substances), assessed PaqM substances with suspected T (20 substances) and further 93 suspected PaqMT substances. A total of 134 substances are recommended to the German Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠) for further investigation and scientific and regulatory scrutiny.
