Description of key information

Short-term EC50 values for Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) are available for two trophic levels of the aquatic freshwater compartment (aquatic invertebrates, algae) from GLP studies according to OECD 201 and OECD 202.


 


Growth inhibition study aquatic algae (Raphidocelis subcapitata) (OECD 201):


ErC50 (72h): >100 mg/l nominal concentration


NOErC (72h): 10 mg/l nominal concentration


 


Short term toxicity on invertebrates (Daphnia magna) (OECD 202):


EC50 (48h): >100 mg/l nominal concentration


NOEC (48h): 100 mg/l nominal concentration

Additional information

Algae:


The acute toxicity of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) to the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata was determined in a 72-hour static test according to OECD guideline 201. The median effect concentrations (EC50) of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate on the green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata was estimated to be >100 mg/l nominal concentration after 72 h of exposure. The NOEC value was determined to be 10 mg/l nominal concentration after 72 h of exposure. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.


 


Daphnia:


The acute toxicity of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to OECD guideline 202. The median effect concentrations (EC50) Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate on Daphnia magna were estimated to be >100 mg/l nominal concentration after 24 and 48 h of exposure. The NOEC values were determined to be 100 mg/l nominal concentration after 24 and 48 h of exposure. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.


 


Conclusion on classification


The environmental classification of Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) is currently not harmonised according to the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008. Based on available acute aquatic toxicity data, the lowest valid effect concentration for freshwater aquatic organisms is >100 mg/L (EC50 for algae or aquatic invertebrates). Based on the available acute data, the substance should not be classified for acute toxicity following Annex I, table 4.1.0a of the CLP regulation (there are no acute values ≤ 1 mg/L). The substance Triethylene glycol dimethanesulfonate (CAS no. 80322-82-3) is not readily biodegradable. Based on the lowest valid effect concentration for invertebrates or algae (Daphnia magna / Raphidocelis subcapitata, EC50 >100 mg/L), the substance should not be classified for chronic aquatic toxicity, following Annex I, table 4.1.0b iii of the CLP regulation (there are no acute values ≤ 100 mg/l).
