Description of key information
The most sensitive NOEC for 2-aminoethanol was derived from an early life stage test in 1996 with 1.2 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium nitrate is soluble in water and dissociates to (2 -hydroxyethyl)ammonium and nitrate.
Since there are no studies available on the aquatic toxicity of the test substance, published literature about the toxic effects of 2 -aminoethanol has been consulted alternatively.The most sensitive NOEC (1.2 mg/L) was derived after a 30 -day exposure period of 2 -aminoethanol (CAS 141-43-5) to the species Oryazis latipes [NITE, 1996]. The 100 day NOEC for reproduction, percent hatch and percent viability of Salvelinus fontinalis was 1.77 mg/L. The 100 day NOEC for survival, length and weight of this species was > 20 mg/L [Mayer et al., 1986].
Nitrate has not been tested for longterm effects on fish because all data available concerning substances belonging to the nitrate category show a very low toxicity. In addtion, nitrates have a very high water solubility and their chemical properties do not indicate bioaccumulation. Therefore, the study is not considered necessary.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
