Name of activity / technique:
Bis(2-butoxyethyl)adipate is not classified for the environment, so an exposure assessment of the environment is not required.
According to the REACH Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part E (page 27/58), the assessment of "human via the environment" should be performed on a case by case basis for acutely toxic substances cat 1, 2 and 3 and strong sensitizers. Bis(2-butoxyethyl)adipate is classified as harmful by oral intake (Acute tox. cat 4) and is not a strong sensitizer. Consequently the assessment of man via the environment is not required. Moreover, the exposure of man via the environment is not a likely route of exposure because releases to the environment are minimal. The substance is manufactured in a closed process and formulated in a polymer film that is enclosed in safety glass.
