Additional information
Conclusion on classification
Environmental classification and labelling of a substance is generally based on data from short-term aquatic toxicity results, the ready biodegradability of the substance and an experimentally determined BCF (or if absent the measured octanol/water partition coefficient). Available adequate chronic toxicity data is also relevant for the assessment of long-term aquatic hazards (Regulation 286/2011/EC).
Short-term aquatic toxicity data is available for all three trophic levels (daphnia, algae and fish). Dimetol was predicted to have a 48-hr Daphnid EC50 of 24.18 mg/L and a 72 -hr Algae ErC50 of 23.77 mg/L using valid QSAR models. An acute fish study is available for Dimetol which gave a 96-hr LC50 of 23.9 mg/L. Since all EC50s are > 1mg/L the substance is not classified for short-term hazards to the aquatic environment according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
Chronic aquatic toxicity data is not available Therefore, the long-term hazard has been assessed based on the acute E(L)C50 data of >10 and <100 mg/L and environmental fate data (readily biodegradable and log Kow of 3), which results in no Chronic classification according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC and its adaption 286/2011.
According to the old DSD regulation, Directive 67/548/EEC, the substance would also not be classified for environmental hazards.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
