Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

PNEC aquatic is based on the lowest predicted EC50 value for individual components present in the "unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbon" group, which is a daphnia EC50 of 0.215 mg/L (see aquatic toxicity endpoint summary for details). The terrestrial and soil PNECs have been derived from PNECaquatic using the equilibrium partitioning method. PNEC STP is based on information content from a ready biodegradation test for the single substance, D-Limonene, which is representative of the "unsaturated monoterpene hydrocarbon" assessment entity. Absence of microbial toxicity can be inferred from biodegradation studies, e.g. if a compound degrades well in a ready biodegradability test this concentration can be used as a NOEC value. D-limonene was found to be readily biodegradable at a test concentration of 10mg/L.

Conclusion on classification

Not relevant for assessment entity. The conclusion for the classification of the whole substance is provided in the aquatic toxicity endpoint summary.
