Description of key information
One key study has been identified as having assessed the short-term toxicity of ethyl methyl carbonate to freshwater fish – an OECD 203, GLP-compliant test using rainbow trout (Oncorhychus mykiss) with analytical verified test concentrations.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish
Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
In the acute fish toxicity test, results of the range-finding study suggested that it was appropriate to only conduct a limit test for the main study. In the main study, no mortalities or sub-lethal effects were observed. A 96-h LC50 of >100 mg/l was determined and indicates that ethyl methyl carbonate is of low toxicity to freshwater fish.
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).
