- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT assessment for this category will be conducted by evaluating the hydrocarbon blocks selected and based on analytical data. This evaluation will be conducted in 2020 when the environmental update will take place.
The information available on the constituents indicates that some constituents in the category streams fulfil the criteria for persistence and bioaccumulation. Additionally, anthracene is a confirmed PBT and is found in some streams in the category. Finally, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Chrysene and Pyrene are included in the Candidate List of substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) for Authorisation based on their PBT / vPvB properties. Streams containing =0.1% concentration of any of these constituents require further assessment which is company specific.- Likely routes of exposure:
The following text applies to those manufacturers whose substances contain anthracene at levels in excess of 0.1%. There are three steps required:characterise the potential emissions of the substance to the different environmental compartments during all activities carried out by the registrant and all identified uses;identify the likely routes by which humans and the environment are exposed to the substance;use this information to implement on the manufacturing site, and recommend to downstream users, risk management measures (RMMS) which minimise emissions and subsequent exposures of humans and the environment throughout the lifecycle of the substance.
