2-(propyloxy)ethanol

Endpoint summary

Additional information

Short-term aquatic toxicity was assessed using fish, invertebrates (daphnia) and plants (algae). In the 96 hour fish study (Pimephales promelas) and the 48 hour invertebrate study (Daphnia magna) LC50 values of >5000 mg/L were reported. A 72-hour algal growth inhibition study using Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was conducted as a limit test at a concentration of 100 mg/L. No

inhibition of growth rate or biomass was observed in that study. The substance has also been determined to be readily biodegradable, therefore toxicity to microorganisms or long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates or fish is not expected.
