Description of key information
Additional information
Benzyl alcohol is considered to have a low potential for adsorption, since the log Pow of 1.1 is below the cut-off value of 3. In addition, benzyl alcohol is neither ionisable nor surface active. Applying the QSAR estimation PCKOCWIN v1.6.6, the Koc is calculated to be 15.7. The Henry´s Law Constant calculated by EUSES 2.1.1 on the basis of the vapour pressure, molecular weight and water solubility was calculated to be 0.0879 Pa.m3/mol.
Based on the low Koc and the low Henry´s Law Constant, it is assumed that adsorption to sediment and suspended organic matter as well as volatilisation of benzyl alcohol from water are not expected to be important fate processes.Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
