properties of petroleum hydrocarbons was conducted. Consistent with REACH technical
guidance and Annex XIII criteria, petroleum hydrocarbons were evaluated using a HCB
scheme that divided these constituents into ten major classes by carbon number.
Measured data and model predictions were used to develop an evidence-based conclusion
for each HCB.
The results of this analysis indicated that within a given HCB class, higher carbon
numbers tended to fulfill the persistence criterion while lighter carbon numbers
sometimes met the B criterion. None of the HCBs were found to meet the vB criterion,
so no HCBs fulfill the vPvB criteria.
Selected HCBs, namely C16-C18 di-naphthenic hydrocarbons and C16-C22 polynaphthenic
hydrocarbons, were found to fulfill the P and B criteria. However, these
blocks will not fulfill the toxicity critieria as they are not soluble enough to pose a
chronic aquatic hazard and do not exhibit health hazard classifications. Therefore, it is
concluded that none of the HCBs that comprise complex petroleum substances meet the
PBT criteria.
Anthracene has been agreed to fulfill the PBT criteria, so the percentage of this substance
in complex petroleum substances must be considered. Since anthracene is derived
principally from pyrogenic rather petrogenic sources, it is present at only trace levels in
petroleum substances. 2DGC analysis has been used to characterize aliphatic and
aromatic hydrocarbons in petroleum product categories. For substances with aromatic
fractions greater than 5%, detailed PAH analysis has been performed. Anthracene
concentrations determined from these analyses are summarized in Table 25. None of the
84 samples analysed contained anthracene at greater than 0.1% (or 1000 ppm).
