Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

LC50(10d) = 3318.81 mg/kg dw (nominal) for Corophium volutator (OSPARCOM 2005)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 or LC50 for marine water sediment:
3 318.81 mg/kg sediment dw

Additional information

The toxicity of D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides (CAS: 68515-73-1) towards sediment organisms was investigated in two short-term studies with the endobenthic marine amphipod Corophium volutator. The tests were performed according to the OSPAR guideline (2005): A Sediment Bioassay using an amphipod Corophium sp. – Marine sediment toxicity test or the OSPARCOM guideline (1995): Sediment bioassay using an amphipod Corophium sp. At test termination after 10 days a NOEC of 262.16 mg a.i./kg dw and LC50 values of 3318.81 mg a. i./kg dw (Hudson, 2008) and > 433.61 mg/kg dw (White, 1998) were observed for the endpoint mortality. In conclusion D-Glucopyranose, oligomers, decyl octyl glycosides is not harmful to sediment organisms under conditions tested. Long-term data should not be generated because of the low log Koc of 1.7 and the ready biodegradability of the test substance.
