Description of key information
Among data on short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates, four publications were selected. The studies have an acceptable reliability and show the lowest results in the available data. The lowest EC50 derived was 18 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 18 mg/L
Marine water invertebrates
Marine water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 170 mg/L
Additional information
Three studies were selected for freshwater species, they were performed on Daphnia magna. The resulting EC50 were: 18 mg/L (Leblanc, 1980), 43 mg/L (Adema, 1978) and 43 mg/L (Adema and Vink, 1981) after 48h exposure. Even if the studies were not all performed according to the same guideline, conditions were similar and the resulting EC50 belong to the same order of magnitude.
One study was selected for marine species (Adema and Vink, 1981). It was performed on Crepidula fornicata with a 7-day exposure. The resulting EC50 was 170 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).
