Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Determination of terrestrial toxicity of single polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) towards various soil-dwelling organismens: The exclusive consideration of PAH data is justified as follows:
1. Pyrene is water insoluble and thus bioavailable only to very limited extent.
2. Direct and indirect environmental exposure by pyrene is very unlikely.
3. Environmental exposure may occur only through release of PAHs during application.
GLP compliance:
no
