PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The substance is readily biodegradable, has a log Kow <3 but has a lowest EC10<0.01 mg/L

Likely routes of exposure:

Substance sorbs strongly to soil and sediment but is readily biodegradable. The substance will therefore either be sorbed or biodegraded. Ingestion of soil/sediment close to the emission point may result in an exposure. Cationic surfactants are however not taken up very efficiently via the digestion trackt (data from quaternary ammonium salts).
