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

No chronic effects to aquatic invertebrates up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.02 mg/L).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study investigating the long-term toxicity of decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, pentaerythritol and valeric acid (CAS No. 71010-76-9) to aquatic invertebrates is available (Letinski & Bragin, 2011). The GLP study was conducted under semi-static conditions according to OECD 211 using Daphnia magna as test organism. A loading rate of 135 mg/L (nominal) was applied in the limit test. The WAF solution was prepared by adding the appropriate amount of test substance with subsequent stirring and sampling of the aqueous portions (WAFs) through the outlet at the bottom of the vessels. No significant effect on reproduction was observed in the treatment throughout the test period of 21 d. Hence, the 21 d-NOELR is determined to be > 135 mg/L on the basis of the nominal test concentration. As it can be seen in the data matrix of the category justification in section 13 and the overall endpoint summary IUCLID 6.1, all reliable data in the category support the hazard assessment of each category member by showing a consistent pattern of results, i.e. no toxic effects to aquatic organisms were observed up to the limit of water solubility.
