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

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 202, the EC50 and LC50 values for DEIPA with Daphnia magna at 48-hr can be determined as greater than 100 mg/L in a freshwater static limit test. The 48-hr NOEC was considered to be 100 mg/L since no mortalities or sublethal effects were observed at this level (Marino et al. 1999b).

Additional information

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 202, the acute toxicity of DEIPA to Daphnia magna Straus was evaluated in a 48-hr freshwater static limit test. The test was performed at a target concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured concentration of 93.1 mg/L) and 0 mg/L (daphnid water control) with 10 daphnids per dose level and 3 replicates per concentration. To determine the DEIPA concentration, the test solutions were analysed on study days 0 and 2 by gas chromatography with mass selective detection following derivatisation with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride. The oxygen level, temperature and pH were also monitored on days 0 and 2. The daphnia were observed 6, 24 and 48 hours after exposure for mortality and immobility. The NOEC was considered to be 100 mg/L since no mortalities or sublethal effects were observed in the water control or DEIPA exposed Daphnids during the 48-hr study duration. The 48-hr EC50 (concentration that effects 50% of the test population), LC50 (concentration that is lethal to 50% of the test population) can be determined as greater than 100 mg/L (Marino et al. 1999b).

In summarising this study, NICNAS (2009) concluded that DEIPA was not acutely harmful to daphnia.

Using the ECOSAR (v1.0) programme [class aliphatic amines] in EPISuite (v4.10) a 48-hr EC50 of 346 mg/L (ppm) for freshwater daphnia and a 96-hr EC50 of 362 mg/L for saltwater mysid shrimp has been predicted (US EPA, 2011).
