AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme (1), an estimated Koc
value of 100 (SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.21 (2) and a
regression-derived equation (3), indicates that diethyl carbonate
is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and
sediment in water (SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected
to be an important fate process (3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law
constant of 8.9X10-5 atm-cu m/mole (SRC), calculated from a vapor
pressure of 10.8 mm Hg (4) and water solubility of 18,800 mg/l (5).
Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method (3),
volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 8 hours
and 8 days, respectively (SRC). Diethyl carbonate may undergo hydrolysis
in water since esters are susceptible to hydrolysis (3). Although no
biodegradation data for diethyl carbonate was located, chemically
similar short alkyl chain esters have been shown to biodegrade (6).
According to a classification scheme (7), an estimated BCF of 2 (SRC),
from its log Kow (2) and a regression-derived equation (8), suggests the
potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low (SRC).

Further remarks from the author of this substance-specific data set:
The substance is readily biodegradable according to a study of good quality generated by Bayer. Furthermore, unproblematic substances are generated when diethyl carbonate hydrolyses: carbon dioxide and ethanol.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
