Additional information
PNECs were derived using freshwater experimental ecotoxicity results for 2-methylpropane-2-thiol along with QSAR calculated results for BCF and calculated results for Koc and Henry's Law Constant. The PNECS derived using experimental data were based on Klimisch 1 or 2 studies (Klimisch et al 1997).
Conclusion on classification
The results of these studies indicate that 2-methylpropane-2-thiol would be classified as chronic category 2 under GHS, with the hazard phrase "toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects". The substance would be classified as R51/ R53 under the DSD, with the hazard phrase "toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment".
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
