Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- 2-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid
- Type of composition:
- legal entity composition of the substance
- State / form:
- solid: particulate/powder
- Reference substance:
- 2-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid (and the transformation product 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid oxide) are not expected to be readily or inherently biodegradable based on QSAR and publicly available data (OSPAR, 2000) for structurally analagous substances (Triphenyl phosphine; CAS: 603-35-0 and Triphenylphosphine oxide; CAS: 791 -28 -6). The substance is assessed as being potentially P i.e. meets the criteria for classification as persistent in the environment.
2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid has a log Kow value of 2.9 at pH 2.0 (non-ionised netural form) and a predicted fish BCF value of 36 L/Kg. Both of these values are below the log Kow 4.0 and BCF 500 threshold limits for classification as potentially bioaccumulative. The substance therefore is assessed as not B i.e. not potentially bioaccumulative.
Chronic toxicity of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid to freshwater invertebrates has been investigated in a historical study. The 21d NOEC for the substance was established to be 0.32 mg/L. Therefore the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as T based on an assessment of the available ecotoxicity data. [Need to include statement on mammalian tox]
- Likely routes of exposure:
Human Health:
Dermal/Inhalation
Environment:
Wastewater effluent and rainfall run-off
Deposition on surface water and soil following release to atmosphere
