Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The 48h EC50 value for Daphnia magna exposed to ethyl methyl sulfide was 16 mg/L. Thus EMS was found to be harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 16 mg/L
Additional information
The acute toxicity of ethyl methyl sulphide was determined in Daphnia magna in accordance with OECD testing guideline 202 and GLP requirements (Thiébaud, 2000). 20 test organisms per concentration were exposed under static conditions to doses of 0, 1, 2.1, 4.7, 10.3, 22.7 and 50 mg/L (nominal concentrations). The final concentrations of methyl ethyl sulfide were maintained within the designated limit of 80% of the initial concentrations. Therefore, the effect concentrations and NOEC have been calculated using the initial measured concentrations. The validity criteria of the study were fulfilled. The calculated 48h EC 50 was 16 mg/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.
