Additional information
The toxicity of 2 -ethyl-4 -methylimidazole (CAS 931-36-2) was tested in a growth inhibition test according to the German Industrial Standard DIN 38412, Part 9. The test species was Desmodesmus subspicatus. The test item was studied in two separate assays with either pH-adjusted or not pH-adjusted test solutions. The 72 -h ErC50 was determined to be 124.8 mg/L if the test solutions were not pH-adjusted (nominal; BASF AG 1990; Study no. 2/0245/89). The test item concentrations were not analytically verified, but are assumed to be stable.
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.
