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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The calculated freshwater algae 96-hour EL50 for propene is 12.1 mg/L and the 96-hour ChV is 4.5 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 12.1 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 4.5 mg/L
Additional information
Measured data are not available for propene for this endpoint. Propene is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and is expected to partition primarily to air, therefore aquatic toxicity tests may not be relevant. In addition, it is technically difficult to maintain aqueous concentrations of gases for toxicity testing.Two QSAR models have been used to estimate the toxicity to algae:
ECOWIN v1 ECOSAR (Nabholz and Mayo-Bean 2009) calculated a 96 -hour EC50 of 12.1 mg/L and the ChV is 4.5 mg/L
The Target Lipid Model (Mcgrath et al., 2004) calculated a LL50 of 44.8 mg/l and a NOELR of 8.582 mg/L.
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.
