12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
12.1 Toxicity
The product components are not classified as environmentally hazardous.
However, this does not exclude the possibility that large or frequent spills can have a harmful
or damaging effect on the environment.
ETHANOL (CAS: 64-17-5)
Acute Toxicity - Fish LC50 48 hours > 100 mg/l Leuciscus idus (Golden orfe)
Acute Toxicity - Aquatic Invertebrates EC50 48 hours > 100 mg/l Daphnia magna
Acute Toxicity - Aquatic Plants EC50 48 hours > 100 mg/l Selenastrum capricornutum
12.2 Persistence and degradability
ETHANOL (CAS: 64-17-5)
Readily biodegradable in fresh water, salt water and anaerobic conditions.
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
ETHANOL (CAS: 64-17-5)
The substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (log Kow3) and therefore testing for
bioaccumulation is not required.
12.4 Mobility in soil
ETHANOL (CAS: 64-17-5)
Mobility: The product contains volatile organic compounds (VOC) which will evaporate easily
from all surfaces. The product is water soluble and may spread in water systems. Adsorption
to soil and sediment is not strong. Theoretical calculation: 92 % water; <1% sediment; <1%
soil, 8% air
12.5 Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
This mixture does not contain any substances that are assessed to be a PBT or a vPvB.
12.6 Other adverse effects
Not applicable
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
13.1 Waste treatment methods
Waste material must be disposed in accordance with the Directive on Waste 2008/98/EC as
well as other national and local regulations. It is not possible to determine a waste code in
accordance with the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) since it is only possible to classify it
according to how it is used by the customer. The waste code is to be determined within the
EU in liaison with the waste-disposal operator.
