Description of key information
The substance 3-ethyloxetane-3-methanol is stable to hydrolysis at environmentally relevant temperatures and pH's i.e. the estimated hydrolysis half-life is greater than one year under environmental conditions.
In a study conducted to guideline OECD 302B, the substance was less than 1% biodegraded over 28 days (i.e. < 70%). The substance is therefore not considered inherently or ultimately biodegradable. Based on this the substance will be classified as P (persistent) in the PBT assessment.
The logKow of 3-ethyloxetane-3-methanol is low and is reported to be 0.6. According to Column 2 of Annex IX of the REACH regulation, no bioaccumulation study is required if the substance can be expected to have a low potential for bioaccumulation based on its log Kow. As such no study is provided in this case.
Based on the low Log Pow value (0.6), the substance 3-ethyloxetane-3-methanol can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption. According to Column 2 of Annex VIII of the REACH regulation, no study is required if the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption.
In accordance with REACH Annex XI, based on available data, the substance is not classified as hazardous for the environment. Therefore, degradation simulation testing in water and/or sediment and soil do not need to be conducted.
Additional information
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.
