Conclusion on classification
Acute tests evaluating the toxicity of 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate (CAS 112-15-2) to aquatic organisms from three different trophic levels are available. No effects were observed up to a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L on aquatic invertebrates and algae. Short-term effects on fish were reported leading to a LC50 (96 h) of 110 mg/L.
Long-term toxicity testing in fish and daphnia revealed no toxicity with a No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) of 10 mg/L.
2 -(2 -ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate was readily biodegradable in a study according to OECD 301C with activated sludge microorganisms.
These findings demonstrate that classification as hazardous to the aquatic environment is not warrented according to the criteria described in Regulation 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
