Description of key information

The toxicity of morpholinium sulphamate to algae was assessed according to OECD TG 201 and EU method C.3. The 72-h EC50 value based on growth rate and yield was determined to be greater than 100 mg/L. The 72-h NOEC based on growth rate and yield was determined to be greater than 100 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
100 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
100 mg/L

Additional information

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of morpholinium sulphamate on the growth of a unicellular green algal species Pseudokirchneriella subcapita according to OECD Guideline No 201 and EU Method C.3. Based on the results of the preliminary test, the test item has no toxic effect on algae up to at least the concentration of 100 mg/L. Therefore a limit test was performed using only this concentration level and a control in order to demonstrate that the test item has no influence on the growth of algae up to at least this test concentration. The algal growth in relation to a control culture was determined over a fixed test period of 72 hours and thus, over several algal generation The results of the statistical evaluation showed that the 0-72 h average specific growth rate and yield at the treatment group (100 mg/L) was not statistically significantly different from the untreated control. Accordingly, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was determined as100 mg/L. The 72-h EC10 and EC50 values based on growth rate and yield were determined to be higher than 100 mg/L.
