Miljöpåverkan
Fenylefrin
Miljörisk:
Risk för miljöpåverkan av fenylefrin kan inte uteslutas då ekotoxikologiska data saknas.
Nedbrytning:
Det kan inte uteslutas att fenylefrin är persistent, då data saknas.
Bioackumulering:
Fenylefrin har låg potential att bioackumuleras.

Environmental Risk Classification
Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC)
PEC is calculated according to the following formula:
PEC(μg/L) = (A*109*(100-R))/(365*P*V*D*100) = 1,37*10-6*A(100-R)
PEC = 0,00104 μg/L
Where:
A = 7,5890 kg (total sold amount API in Sweden year 2021, data from IQVIA).
R = removal rate = 0% (no data available)
P = number of inhabitants in Sweden = 10*106
V (L/day) = volume of waste water per capita and day = 200 (ECHA default) (Ref. 1)
D = factor for dilution of waste water by surface water flow = 10 (ECHA default) (Ref. 1)
Ecotoxicological studies
No ecotoxicological data available.
Degradation
No degradation data available.
Bioaccumulation
Partitioning coefficient
An experimentally derived Log Kow of -0,31 (unknown method) (Ref. 2) indicates that Phenylephrine has low potential for bioaccumulation.
Log Kow < 4 which justifies use of the phrase “Phenylephrine has low potential for bioaccumulation”.
