Description of key information
Additional information
Acetaldeyde in air appears to be toxic to some microorganisms at relatively low concentrations.
Aphids were killed when exposed to acetaldehyde at a concentration of 0.36 µg/m3 for 3 or 4 hours.
Median lethal values were 8.91 mg/L per hour and 7.69 mg/L per hour for the slug species, Arion hortensis and Agriolimax reticulatus, respectively.
Inhibition of seed germination in the onion, carrot, and tomato by acetaldehyde (up to 1.52 mg/L) was reversible, whereas inhibition of Amaranthus palmeri, similarly exposed, was irreversible. Acetaldehyde at 0.54 µg/m3 damaged lettuce.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
