Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

PCP was detected in the soil at Site 1 at a concentration of 37 µg/kg dry weight. It was also detected in earthworms collected from Site 2 at a concentration of 140 µg/kg dry weight. The only BAF value calculated was for Site 1 at the spring sampling time; this was determined to be 0.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Data is provided in the form of a publication (Kinney et al. (2008). Analysis of earthworms offers potential for assessing the transfer of organic anthropogenic waste indicators (AWIs) derived from land-applied biosolid or manure to biota. Earthworms and soil samples were collected from three Midwest agricultural fields to measure the presence and potential for transfer of 77 AWIs, from land-applied biosolids and livestock manure to earthworms. The sites consisted of a soybean field with no amendments of human or livestock waste (Site 1), a soybean field amended with biosolids from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (Site 2), and a cornfield amended with swine manure (Site 3). The biosolid applied to Site 2 contained a diverse composition of 28 AWIs, including PCP, reflecting the presence of human use compounds. The swine manure contained 12 AWIs, and was dominated by biogenic sterols.

Soil and earthworm samples were collected in the spring (about 30 days after soil amendment) and autumn (140-155 days after soil amendment) at all field sites.

PCP was detected in the soil at Site 1 at a concentration of 37 µg/kg dry weight. It was also detected in earthworms collected from Site 2 at a concentration of 140 µg/kg dry weight. The only BAF value calculated was for Site 1 at the spring sampling time; this was determined to be 0.
