Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Valid studies only reported:
P putida, 17hr EC10=722mg/l, EC50=964mg/l
Sewage micro-organisms, 3 hr EC50>1000mg/l, IC50=2800mg/l
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 964 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 720 mg/L
Additional information
A guideline study using activated sludge respiration inhibition as a measure of toxicity to micro-organisms showed an EC20 of >=900mg/l. In a guideline study where basic details were reported, the bacteria P. putida were exposed to 2 -butoxyethyl acetate to concentrations in excess of 1g/l. The study concluded a 17hr EC50 of 964mg/l and an EC10 (which can be considered a NOEC) of 720mg/l. In a bacterial growth inhibition test using sewage microorganisms and turbimetry as the end point, the substance was found to inhibit growth by 50% at a concentration of 2800mg/l (IC50 =2800mg/l). It can be concluded that the substance has relatively low toxicity to bacteria.
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.
