This is the 2022 update (first update) of the UBA list of prioritised persistent, mobile and toxic/very persistent and very mobile (PMT/vPvM) substances in the REACH registration database. All substances are registered under REACH (EC No 1907/2006) and meet the PMT/vPvM criteria as proposed by UBA in 2019. Compared to the first version from 2019, this 2022 update of the UBA list adds new substances and improved the PMT/vPvM assessment. This UBA list is published as UBA TEXTE Texte | 20/2023. It is indicated if a substance would also meet the less stringent PMT/vPvM criteria as published by the European Commission (EC) in September 2021, which was under discussion for inclusion in the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) regulation (EC No 1272/2008).

A suspect screening list of 1310 potentially persistent and mobile chemicals from UFZ and HSF, described in Neuwald, Muschket et al. (2021) DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117645 & 10.5281/zenodo.5503379. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5535287.

This list contains representative PFAS, triazoles and triazines, the "Box 1" substances to kick-off the H2020 project ZeroPM (https://zeropm.eu). Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5854251.

PMTPFAS is a list of fluorine-containing compounds extracted from existing suspect lists for PMT (persistent, mobile, toxic) compounds, currently S36 UBAPMT, S82 EAWAGPMT and S84 UFZHSFPMT. All entries contain fluorine but are not necessarily PFAS. Two salt entries were replaced with the F-containing parts only. Dataset DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8417074.
