Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Ethanol is practically non-toxic to aquatic invertebrates based on survival. Based on reproductive parameters, it would be classified as slightly toxic.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 9.6 mg/L
Additional information
In a very well reported invertebrate reproduction study, Daphnia magna were exposed to ethanol over a period of approximately 10 days, sufficient for the production of 3 broods of offspring. An LC50 of 454mg/l was reported for the adults but a much lower NOEC of 9.6mg/l was reported for the reproduction test, based on criteria of total progeny, number of broods and mean brood size.
Synopsis
EC50 (adult, mortality) = 454mg/l
NOEC (reproduction) = 9.6mg/l
