Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Toxicity studies are available with soil macroorganisms (Eiseinia foetida), terrestrial plants (Glycine max, Lycopersicon esulentum, Sinapis alba, Avena sativa, Lolium perenne), soil microorganisms and birds.
A short-term and a long-term soil organism toxicity study is available for earthworms (E. foetida), which indicate that the test substance is of low toxicity: NOEC (14-d and 28-d) ≥1000 mg/kg dw, based on mortality and reproduction (Priestly, 2010b and Schmidt, 2011, respectively).
GTL Diesel was tested with a series of plants in growth studies which also indicated the low toxicity of the test substance. The lowest EC50 (21-d) was 990 mg/kg dw with L. perenne based on growth, while the lowest NOEC (21-d) was 560 mg/kg dw recorded with S. alba also based on growth (Goodband, 2011).
A nitrogen transformation test with the substance resulted in an EC50 (28-d) value of 320 mg/kg and a NOEC (28-d) of 180 mg/kg based on nitrate formation rate (Clarke, 2010).
The median lethal concentration (LC50) for the dietary oral toxicity of GTL Diesel in young Japanese quails was determined as > 5000 mg test item/kg diet (based on test item intake: LC50> 1163.9 mg per kg body weight per day). No test item related mortalities / symptoms were observed within the observation period and at necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed for the treated animals.
Overall, the studies indicate that GTL Gasoil exhibits low toxicity to terrestrial organisms.
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.
