Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Daphnia magna. 48hr EC50 >100mg/l (OECD 202)
Daphnia magna. 24hr EC50 = 1750mg/l (protocol: no data)
Daphnia magna. 24hr EC50 = 3200mg/l (protocol: no data)
Dapnia magna 48hr LC50 >1000mg/l (protocol: US EPA)
Daphnia magna. 48hr EC50 = 2209mg/l (protocol: QSAR)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 1 101 mg/L
Additional information
A number of studies have been carried out however there is no single 48hr study that permits the determination of an actual EC50 value. The most reliable study result is a GLP protocol limit test where clearly no effects were observed at the highest tested concentration of 100mg/l. Other experimental studies are only for 24hr exposure periods. A QSAR predicts a 48hr EC50 for Daphnia magna of 2209mg/l. Clearly 2 -(2 -butoxyethoxy) ethanol is practically non-toxic to invertebrates. For the purposes of risk assessment, there is enough evidence to support a conclusion that the 48hr EC50 for daphnia is likely to be greater than 1101mg/l.
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.
