Description of key information
Additional information
US EPA AOPWIN software (v1.92) estimated an Overall Hydroxyl Radical Reaction Rate Constant of 21.8402 E-12 cm3/molecule-sec at 25 degrees C, and an atmospheric degradation half-life of 5.877 hours, for ethoxypropanol.
In a guideline and GLP assessment of ready biodegradability by sewage treatment micro-organisms, ethoxypropanol attained 68% degradation after 28 days as measured by oxygen consumed. The biodegradation curve showed that degradation exceeded 60% within 10 days of the degradation attaining 10%; therefore satisfying the 10-day window validation criterion cited in the OECD guidelines. Accordingly, ethoxypropanol is considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
In a guideline and GLP assessment of ready biodegradability by activated sewage sludge micro-organisms, ethoxypropanol attained 78% degradation after 28 days as indicated by daily oxygen consumption. Degradation of the test material exceeded 10% on day 6 of the study and attained 60% on day 15; therefore satisfying the 10-day window validation criterion cited in the OECD guidelines. Accordingly, ethoxypropanol is considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
