Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Freshwater algal 96hr NOEC - 9.3 mg/L (OECD 201)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
36 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
9.3 mg/L

Additional information

Harlan study No. 41104031 to OECD 201 and GLP the freshwater algal NOEC, based on growth rate, was 9.3 mg/L at both 72 hrs and 96 hrs. The ErC₅₀ was 36 mg/L at 72 hrs and 42 mg/L at 96 hrs.

The preferred observational endpoint in this study is algal growth rate inhibition because it is not dependent on the test design (see Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7b: Endpoint specific guidance v1.1). Thus the 72 hr ErC₅₀ is used for classification purposes.
