Description of key information
Additional information
Although the studies available do not follow current standard guidelines, they are sufficient to demonstrate that toluene is readily biodegraded by both non-adapted and adapted sewage sludge inocula. Three of these studies were also used as part of a weight of evidence that toluene is readily biodegradable in the EU RAR for toluene (2003).
The available data indicate that toluene can be considered readily biodegradable. Therefore, based on the screening criteria for persistence stipulated in ECHA’s Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Part C: PBT Assessment (2008) toluene is not considered to be persistent (P) or very persistent (vP).
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.
