Description of key information
Additional information
One key study is available for each of the following endpoints:
- Short-term toxicity to fish:
LC50 (96h) > 100 mg/L; LOEC (96h) > 100 mg/L; NOEC (96h) ≥ 100 mg/L (OECD guideline 203) (klimisch 1)
Based on the results of this study, sodium hypophosphite would be considered as non hazardous to fish (Brachydanio rerio) according to the CLP regulation (EC) n° 1272/2008.
- Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:
EC50 (48h) > 100 mg/L; EC0 (48h) ≥ 100 mg/L (OECD guideline 202) (klimisch 1)
According to the CLP regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008, in the tested conditions sodium hypophosphite is considered non-hazardous to daphnids (Daphnia magna).
- Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria:
EC10, EC20 and EC50 (72h) for growth rate and yield >100 mg/L (OECD Guideline) (klimisch 1)
LOEC (72h) for growth rate and yield >100 mg/L (OECD Guideline 201) (klimisch 1)
NOEC (72h) for growth rate and yield ≥ 100 mg/L (OECD Guideline 201) (klimisch 1)
According to the CLP regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008, in the tested conditions sodium hypophosphite is considered non-hazardous to algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) for growth rate and yield.
- Toxicity to microorganisms:
EC50 (3h) > 1000 mg/L; EC10 (3h) ≥ 1000 mg/L (OECD guideline 209) (klimisch 1)
Based on the results of this study, sodium hypophosphite is not toxic to these microorganisms.
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).
