Results and discussion
- Results:
- Reportedly there were no cases of sensitization seen among workers manufacturing 2-EH.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The original reference is still not yet available, but reportedly there were no cases of sensitization seen among BASF's workers manufacturing 2-EH.
- Executive summary:
According to the toxicological assessment of the BG Chemie, there were no cases of sensitization seen among BASF's workers manufacturing 2-EH, as stated in writing by BASF's Department of occupational medicine in 1988.
The original reference is still missing, but it is concluded that 2 -EH lacks sensitizing properties (BG Chemie, 1995; DFG, 2006).
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
