Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
Level III fugacity calculations based on realistic emissions built up by considering the known use patterns of ethanol and the emissions from these use either derived from the default emission factors in the EU TGD for these uses or expert assessment and the EPIWIN model, leads to a prediction that the water and air compartments are the main fate compartments.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
