Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Acute toxicity to fish

The substance is acutely toxic to fish based on a 96 -h LC50 being 3.2 mg/L (as a worst-case consideration, nominal, analytically verifired, O. mykiss).

 

Chronic toxicity to fish

The 5 months NOEAEC was determined to be 0.01 mg/L (nominal, analytically verified, BASF AG, 2003).

The 90 -d NOEC was determined to be 0.01 mg/L (nominal, analytically verified, BASF AG, 2004)

 

Acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

The substance is acutely toxic to aquatic invertebrates based on a 48 -h EC50 of 8.9 mg/L (Daphnia magna, BASF AG, 1990; report no. 1/0691/2/89 -189061)

 

Chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

The 21-d NOEC on reproduction was determined at 0.63 mg/L.

The 21 -d EC10 was 0.63 mg/L (95% CL: 0.5786 – 0.69 mg/L; nominal, recalculated, BASF SE, 2019). The 21 -d EC20 was determined to be 0.69 mg/L (95% CL: 0.63 – 0.76 mg/L; nominal, recalculated, BASF SE, 2019).

 

Toxicity to algae and cyanobacteria

The substance is acutely harmful to algae and cyanobacteria based on a 72 -h ErC50 > 10.7 mg/L (geo-mean measured).

The corresponding 72-h ErC10 was determined to be 6.9 µg/L (geo-mean measured, Hermes H., rep. no.: 1993/10149, 2018).

Toxicity to aquatic plants

The substance is acutely very toxic to aquatic plants based on the 7-d ErC10 of 1.9 µg/L and the 7-d ErC50 of 13.8 µg/L (initially measured, based on frond number, BASF AG, rep. no.: 2006/1031717, 2006)

Toxicity to microorganisms

The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when the substance is introduced in appropriately low concentrations. The 30-min EC20 was determined to be > 1014 mg/L (domestic activated sludge, nominal, BASF AG, 1993).

Overall, epoxiconazole is considered to be acutely very toxic to aquatic organisms.
