Conclusion on classification

No toxic effects were observed at the highest tested doses on fishes and invertebrates resulted on LC50/96h > 100.3 mg/L a.i. and EC50/48h > 96 mg/L a.i. respectively. A 72 hours test on algae led to an EC50 = 598 mg/L a.i. and an EC10 = 262 mg/L a.i.

A log Kow of 1.57 was found by the HPLC method and indicates a low potential for bioaccumulation in absence of BCF data.

The substance was only degraded by 14% in a ready biodegradation study but by analogy with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ylmethanol, the substance can be considered as inherently biodegradable.

Thus the substance is not classified for environmental hazards according to CLP regulation and DSD directive.
