Description of key information

The toxicity to the aquatic environment of Fatty acids, C16-18, reaction products with ethanolamine (CAS 85566-32-1 / EC 287-643-2) was investigated by performing GLP-compliant short-term toxicity studies to freshwater aquatic invertebrates and algae, in accordance with Annex VII of REACH.


An EC50 or LC50 > 100 mg/L was obtained for all required trophic levels. Considering that these values are above 1 mg/L, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as Aquatic Acute 1; H400 in accordance with Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.


There is no available data on the chronic toxicity of Fatty acids, C16-18, reaction products with ethanolamine to the aquatic environment. As the substance is being registered under REACH in the 1-10 tonnage band there is no requirement for information on long-term studies to aquatic species. Therefore the classification of the registered substance for chronic effects is based on the short-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C16-18, reaction products with ethanolamine to the aquatic environment and its ready biodegradability. Considering that the lowest value is above 100 mg/L, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification for long lasting effects to the aquatic environment in accordance with Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.
