Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 3h EC50 for toxicity of methyl ethyl sulphide to micro-organisms based on the inhibition of the respiration rate was > 1000 mg/L. This has been read across to diethyl sulphide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Gancet (2012) determined the toxicity of methyl ethyl sulphide to micro-organisms according to the OECD guideline 209 “Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test”. The effect was assessed in a GLP-compliant study by measuring the micro-organisms respiration rates on a sample of activated sludge during an incubation period of 3 hours.The EC50 based on the inhibition of the respiration rate was >1000 mg/L. The study is considered reliable and suitable for use for this endpoint.
The toxicity of diethyl sulphide to micro-organisms has been read across from methyl ethyl sulphide. These substances are sulphides characterised by a sulphur atom in a carbon chain with the same structure over very similar carbon chain lengths (C4 for diethyl sulphide and C3 for methyl ethyl sulphide). Similarities between the available data for acute toxicity to Daphnia and algae show the similarity of the ecotoxicological properties of the two substances.
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.
