Description of key information
The ErC50(72h) for Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined as 26 mg/L and the NOECr(72h) as 6 mg/L, respectively.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 26 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 6 mg/L
Additional information
An acute toxicity study was conducted with Desmodesmus subspicatus (Safepharm Laboratories, 2007) according to OECD Guideline 201 using a static design. Nominal exposure concentrations were 6.25; 12.5; 25; 50 and 100 mg/L. The test concentrations were prepared by diluting a saturated solution prepared from an initial test material dispersion at 1000 mg/L. Based on measured test concentrations (geometric mean) the 72-hour EC50 value for growth rate was determined to be 26 mg/L, the respective 72-hour NOEC was determined to be 6 mg/L.
Supporting study:
An acute toxicity study was conducted with Scenedesmus subspicatus (BASF AG 1995) according to OECD Guideline 201 using a static design. Nominal exposure concentrations were 6.25; 12.5; 25; 50 and 100 mg/L. The analytical recovery after after 0 hours was 24.8 - 30.6% in all analysed test solutions and after 72 hours below detection limit. No significant effects on growth were observed up to the highest concentration tested. The 72-hour EC50 value for growth rate is therefore > 100 mg/L of the nominal concentration.
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).
