Description of key information

With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic algae.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The toxic effect of 2 -[2 -(3 -aminopropoxy)ethoxy]ethanol (CAS 112 -33 -4) was determined in an algal growth inhibition test according to the EC method C.3. The test item concentrations were analytically verified. No effects on growth rate and biomass were noted up to the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L. The 72 -h NOEC and the EC10 (biomass and growth rate) are greater than 100 mg/L (measured; BASF AG, 1993; report no. 91/1782/60/1).

The substance is assessed to be with high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic algae.
