Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term freshwater toxicity data for invertebrates are dominated by zooplankton (9 data point), crustaceans (6 data point), mollusks (6 data point) and insects (3 data point). 
Taking into account the quality of the available studies indicates that the most reliable short-term aquatic toxicity data for fresh water aquatic invertebrates is the study of Kimball, G. 1978. The lowest reliable short-term data point is 48h-LC50 -242 mg/l for mortality effects in Daphnia magna expressed as aluminium sulphate .
This information will be take into account for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for the derivation of PNEC.
Short-term marine toxicity data for invertebrates are dominated by mollusks (9 data point), crustaceans (2 data point) and zooplankton (1 data point).
Taking into account the quality of the available studies indicates that the most sensitive short-term aquatic toxicity data for marine water aquatic invertebrates is the study of Taneeva, A.I., 1973 . The lowest reliable short-term data point is 72h-LC50 -19.5 mg/l for mortality effects in Artemia salina (Brine Shrimp) expressed as aluminium sulphate..
This information will be take into account for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for the derivation of PNEC.

Additional information

Under the conditions of the study of Kimball, G. 1978 and the aquatic test 132321 aluminium sulphate induced no mortality effects in Daphnia magna below 48.4 mg/l (NOEC) .One of the 48 h-LC50 was 242 mg/l expressed as aluminium sulphate.(See attached documents-AQUATIC TEST №: 132321)

 

Under the conditions of the study of Taneeva, A.I., 1973 and the aquatic test № 107334 aluminium sulphate induced no mortality effects in Artemia salina below 3.9 mg/l (NOEC) . The 72h-LC50 was 19.5 mg/L expressed as aluminium sulphate.
