Description of key information
Based on a weight of evidence approach phenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is predicted to be readily biodegradable.
Additional information
The biodegradability of phenylparaben is evaluated by one key study and two QSAR estimations. A scientific study with limited documentation and two QSAR predictions are available. Within the study benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is evaluated as moderately persistant with a half-life of 10 to 19 hours in river water and teken into acount as read-across source.
Both QSAR predictions (VEGA and BIOWIN4.10) predict the substance as readily biodegradable and therefore phenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is classified to be readily biodegradable.
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.
