PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
Summary and overall conclusions on PBT or vPvB properties
HCl does not fulfil the criteria for Persistence and Bioaccumulation given Annex XIII and therefore is not PBT. It is not very persistente (vP) nor very bioaccumulative (vB).
Persistence Assessment
HCl can be regarded as non biodegradable in the aquatic and terrestrial environment. The test results suggest that the substance is persistent. Therefore the criteria for the P classification are met.
Bioaccumulation Assessment
The substance is considered cationic at environmental pH levels, the log Kow was calculated to a value of -2.65. Following the Annex VIII Guidance, this value does indicate any bioaccumulation potential.
Toxicity Assessment
According to the criteria of Annex XIII, HCl is a toxic substance and fulfils the T-criterion.
- Likely routes of exposure:
Emission Characterisation
HCl is not classifiable according to the PBT or vPvB criteria and no specific characterisation of emissions beyond that performed in the exposure assessment is required
