Description of key information
No data exist for 2,2'-oxydiethanol as it poses no hazrd to the environment. The hazard assessment of 2,2'-oxydiethanol (CAS 111-46-6) 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. Furthermore, the substance is considered as readily biodegradable. Additionally, as the log Koc is well below 3 and the substance has no cationic properties, a very low adsorption potential is indicated. Therefore, binding to sewage sludge is unlikely and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected. According to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Chapter R.7c, Table R.7.11 - 2 (soil hazard categories) the substance belongs to hazard category 1. Following this the screening assessment would be based on the EPM (Equilibrium Partitioning Method). However, since no hazard is identified and no PNECs are derived for the aquatic compartment based on acute effect values > 100 mg/L for the trophic levels fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae and chronic effect values > 10 mg/L for aquatic invertebrates and algae) the EPM is not applied as no significant toxicity for the soil compartment is expected.
Additional information
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.
