Description of key information
In a reliable study performed on freshwater algae, the substance was found not harmful to algae with a 72-hour EC50 = 598 mg a.i./L and 72-hour EC10 = 262 mg a.i./L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 598 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 262 mg/L
Additional information
The substance was tested for toxicity on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata in a study performed according to OECD Guideline 201 and in accordance with GLP.
The freshwater alga, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, was exposed to a geometric series of six treatment levels of2-isobutyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol ranging from 31 to 944 mg a.i./L, based on mean, measured concentrations of this substance.
Toxicity of 2-isobutyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol to P. subcapitata was assessed based on effects on growth rate and yield relative to the negative control group. The 72-hour EC50values for growth rate and yield were determined to be 598 mg a.i./L and 219 mg a.i./L, respectively. The 72 hour EC10 value for growth rate was determined to be 262 mg a.i./L.
Based on the results of this study, the test item is considered as not harmful to aquatic plants in accordance with the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
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).
