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.

Additional information

Numerous experimental studies are available for all trophic levels investigating the short- and long-term effects of 3-(2-chlor-5-pyridyl-methyl)-cyanimino-1,3-thiazolidin on species of fish, aquatic invertebrates, algae, and microorganisms.

Short-term toxicity data are available for three trophic levels (aquatic invertebrates, fish and algae). The most sensitive species was the harlequin fly Chironomus riparius with an 48h-EC50 value of 0.0108 mg/L (nominal). Whereas in tests with different fish species sheepshead minnow (C. variegatus) was most sensitive with a determined LC50 value of 19.7 mg/L based on mean measured concentrations. In a test with green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the EC50 for growth rate was not reached within the 72-hour test duration up to the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured).

In long-term toxicity tests, aquatic invertebrates also showed the highest sensitivity towards 3-(2-chlor-5-pyridyl-methyl)-cyanimino-1,3-thiazolidin compared to fish and algae. In a study with harlequin fly Chironomus riparius (OECD 233), the deduced NOEC value was 0.56 µg/L (nominal) based on fertility. For fish, the 97-day key study (according to OECD 210) with freshly fertilized rainbow trout (O. mykiss) eggs exposed to six concentrations of 3-(2-chlor-5-pyridyl-methyl)-cyanimino-1,3-thiazolidin resulted in a NOEC of 244 µg/L (mean measured). The study investigating the toxicity to aquatic algae (according to OECD 201) resulted in a distinctly higher NOEC for growth rate of 32 mg/L (nominal) after 72 hours.

 

The key study on the toxicity to activated sludge microorganisms (ISO 8192) revealed an EC50 (30 minutes) of 6330 mg/L (nominal).
