Description of key information
Additional information
Adler et al. (2001) reported that the median inflow concentration of E2was 1-2 ng/L in treatment plants in Germany, while after treatment the median was 0.2 - 0.7 ng/l. The median concentrations of E2in effluents from Dutch waste water treatment plants as measured by Belfroid et al. (1999) was 0.9 ng/L. The presence of E2in natural aquatic ecosystems was analysed in a number of studies. For example, Adler et al. (2001), Belfroid et al. (1999), Kolpin et al. (2002), and Ternes et al. (1999), reported median aquatic concentrations that were below the limit of detection (typically 0.1-1 ng/L), whereas concentrations occasionally exceeded the level of 1 ng/L.
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.
