Additional information

Conclusion on classification

The toxicity to the aquatic environment of 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]propan-2-ol was investigated by performing GLP-compliant short-term toxicity studies to freshwater aquatic invertebrates and algae, and by performing an expert assessment on the short-term toxicity to freshwater fish based on valid QSAR predictions and literature data on an analogue substance.

Fish was identified as the most sensitive species based on the outcome of the investigation with a 96h LC50 of 144 mg/L. Considering that the lowest L(E)C50 for 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]propan-2-ol is 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 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]propan-2-ol to the aquatic environment. As the substance is being registered under REACH in the 10-100 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 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]propan-2-ol to the aquatic environment and its ready biodegradability. Considering that the lowest L(E)C50 for 1-[(2-hydroxyethyl)thio]propan-2-ol 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.
