Description of key information

No toxic effects up to the limit of water solubility (< 1 mg/L) for Desmodesmus subspicatus (OECD 201)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study investigating the toxicity of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., mixed esters with adipic acid and trimethylolpropane (CAS No. 91001-61-5) to freshwater algae is available. The static study was conducted according to OECD guideline 201 using Desmodesmus subspicatus as test organism (Häner, 2006). A 100 mg/L WAF was tested in a limit test. The 72 h-EL50 is determined to be > 100 mg/L and the 72 h-NOELR is determined to be ≥ 100 mg/L on the basis of the nominal test concentration.

Based on this result it can be concluded that no toxicological effects on algae are expected up to the limit of water solubility for Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., mixed esters with adipic acid and trimethylolpropane.
