Additional information
The information presented in regard to acute fish, and daphnia toxicity, toxicity to aquatic algae and microogranisms, as well as the ready biodegradability of trimethylamine N-oxide indicates no hazard to any compartment of the environment and that there is no potential for bioaccumulation.
Conclusion on classification
Data from all three trophic levels indicate a lack of toxic effect at the maximum concentrations tested. Therefore, trimethylamine N-oxide does not meet the classification criteria of EC 1272/2008 (as amended) for environmental hazards.
Trimethylamine N-oxide is not classified for environmental hazards.
Exposure assessment and risk characterisation are not required for the environment as no hazard has been identified for environmental health.
