Additional information

Acute toxicity to fish

With high probability, the substance is not acutely harmful to fish.

96-h LC50 > 681 mg/L (pH-adjusted, nominal, BASF, 1981)

 

Chronic toxicity to fish

In Annex IX, Section 9.1.6, Column 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that long-term toxicity testing on fish shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on fish. According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to CLP-Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and its second adaptation 286/2011 or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB.  The hazard assessment of the substance reveals neither a need to classify the substance as dangerous to the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance, nor are there any further indications that the substance may be hazardous to the environment.  Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, a chronic test in fish is not provided

 

Acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

With high probability, the substance is not acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates

48 -h EC50 > 500 mg/L (nominal, BASF AG, 1990)

 

Chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that chronic tests shall be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to investigate further the effects on aquatic invertebrates. According to Annex I of this regulation, the chemical safety assessment triggers further action when the substance or the preparation meets the criteria for classification as dangerous according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Directive 1999/45/EC or is assessed to be a PBT or vPvB. The hazard assessment of 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol reveals neither a need to classify the substance as dangerous to the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance, nor are there any further indications that the substance may be hazardous to the environment. Therefore, a chronic test in aquatic invertebrates is not provided.

 

 

Toxicity to algae and cyanobacteria

With high probability, the substance is not acutely harmful to algae

Key: 72-h EC50 = 202 mg/L, 72 -NOEC = 62.5 mg/L (nominal, BASF AG, 1990).

Key: 72 -h EC10 = 23.3 mg/L (Toolbox v4.4, BASF SE, 2021)

 

Toxicity to microorganisms

17 -h EC10 = 28 mg/L ( Pseudomonas putida, BASF AG, 1990)
