Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
PBO is well absorbed and distributed throughout the body. The molecule is extensively metabolised and fully excreted via urine, bile and faeces.
Executive summary:

A number of studies on toxicokinetiscs and metabolism have been performed in rats and mice.

Upon oral administration PBO is well absorbed and distributed throughout the body. The molecule is extensively metabolised and fully excreted via urine, bile and faeces.
