Additional information
Aquatic toxicity is anticipated to be unlikely because PMVE, due its physico-chemical properties and limited emissions to the environment, is not expected to distribute significantly into the aquatic compartment. In fact, the HLC of PMVE indicates that, in a system water-atmosphere, PMVE tends to rapidly leave the water phase distributing to the atmosphere. Even in the hypothesis of the presence of aqueous emissions, PMVE is therefore not expected to remain in the aquatic compartment long enough to exert a toxic effects on the aquatic organisms.
PNECs for sediment (freshwater or marine) are not derived as no exposure of sediments is anticipated. In fact, the exposure of the aquatic compartment is anticipated to be negligible and even in the hypothesis that a certain quantity of PMVE is present in water, due to the limited tendency to adsorb to the organic matter no significant distribution from water to sediment is expected.
Because of the low potential for wet and dry deposition, a significant exposure to soil can be also excluded.
PNEC for air is not calculated since PMVE is not considered to represent an hazard.
Conclusion on classification
According to its environmental fate, PMVE tends to rapidly leave the water phase distributing to the atmosphere therefore it is expected to not remain in the aqueous compartment long enough to exert toxic effects on aquatic organisms.
Based on the above considerations, toxicity for the aquatic organisms is unlikely to occur and the substance does not need to be classified for aquatic toxicity according to CLP (EC No 1272/2008).
