Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

PABA did not induce mutations in bacteria, but induced an increased incidence of chromosome

aberrations in CHO cells at 1900 μg/ml (the highest dose tested; no scoreable metaphases could

be found at higher doses).
