PBT assessment: overall result

Reference
Name:
Clothianidin
Type of composition:
legal entity composition of the substance
State / form:
solid: particulate/powder
Reference substance:
Clothianidin
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Persistence (P) Assessment

 

The degradation half-life of chlothianidin in natural surface water determined in a study following OECD 309 was > 1 year (recalculated to 12°C). A mineralisation of <1% was recorded. In a sediment simulation study conducted according to EC Commision Directive 95/36/EC the determined half-life was 102 – 138 days, recalculated to 12 °C with a mineralisation of <5%.

The degradation half-life of chlothianidin in soil was investigated in studies following OECD 307. The determined half-life was 33 – 381 days, recalculated to 12 °C, and 9.4 – 29.3% were mineralized.

Based on the Persistence (P/vP) criteria according to Annex XIII of the REACH Regulation clothianidin is assessed as vP/P.

 

 

Bioaccumulation assessment

 

The substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation based on a log Kow <=3.

Therefore, the substance does not meet the B criterion.

 

 

Toxicity assessment

 

A long-term no-observed effect concentration of less than 0.01 mg/L was determined for Chironomus riparius (EC10 (28 d): 0.4 µg a.s./L). Based on the available data substance is considered to fulfil the T criterion

 

Summary and overall conclusions on PBT or vPvB properties

 

Overall conclusion:

Based on the assessment described in the subsections above the substance is not PBT.
