  • Vad är miljöinformation?

Miljöinformation

Miljöpåverkan

Eflornitin

Miljörisk: Risk för miljöpåverkan av eflornitin kan inte uteslutas då ekotoxikologiska data saknas.
Nedbrytning: Det kan inte uteslutas att eflornitin är persistent, då data saknas.
Bioackumulering: Eflornitin 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 = 0.00053 μg/L


Where:

A = 3,8970 kg (total sold amount API in Sweden year 2023, data from IQVIA).

R = 0 % removal rate (due to loss by adsorption to sludge particles, by volatilization, hydrolysis or biodegradation) = 0 if no data is available.

P = number of inhabitants in Sweden = 10 *106

V (L/day) = volume of wastewater per capita and day = 200 (ECHA default) (Ref. I)

D = factor for dilution of waste water by surface water flow = 10 (ECHA default) (Ref. I)

Predicted No Effect Concentration (PNEC)

Ecotoxicological studies

No data is available.


Environmental risk classification (PEC/PNEC ratio)

It is not possible to calculate the environmental risk classification (PEC/PNEC ratio) due to lack of data.


Summary phrases for the environmental risk:

Risk of environmental impact of eflornithine cannot be excluded, since no ecotoxicity data are available.


According to the European Medicines Agency guideline on environmental risk assessment of medicinal products (EMA/CHMP/SWP/4447/00), use of eflornithine is unlikely to represent a risk for the environment, because the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) is below the action limit of 0.01 μg/L.

Degradation

No degradation data is available.


Summary phrases for degradation:

The potential for persistence of eflornithine cannot be excluded, due to lack of data.


Bioaccumulation

Partitioning coefficient: 

LogP = -2 (predicted data, pH unknown (source ALOGPS)),

LogP = -2.9 (predicted data, pH unknown (source Chemaxon))

(Ref II)


Justification of chosen bioaccumulation phrase:

Since logP < 4, eflornithine has low potential for bioaccumulation.


Excretion (metabolism)
Eflornithine is not known to be metabolised and is eliminated primarily in the urine.
(Ref III)
