- Conclusions:
- Exposure to 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate caused no effect on the embryo, larvae, and juvenile stages of zebrafish. Hatch time and hatching success were not affected. Body length and body weight of juvenile fish were unaffected by treatment. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 10.0 mg/L, the highest concentration investigated.
- Executive summary:
Potential effects of long-term exosure of 2 -(2 -ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate to fish has been investigated using methods described by OECD TG 210. No effect on the embryo, larvae, and juvenile stages of exposed zebrafish was observed. Hatch time and hatching success were not affected. Body length and body weight of juvenile fish were unaffected by treatment. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 10.0 mg/L, the highest concentration investigated.
