Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Aquatic compartment

Official classification

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Annex VI Table 3.1 or Table 3.2: no data found for L-alpha-methylbenzylamine (CAS 2627-86-3).

 

LC/EC values for L-alpha-methylbenzylamine are available from three species representing three trophic levels (fish, invertebrates and algae). The most sensitive species are fish (96-h LC50 = 17 mg/L). Chronic data are available only for algae (72 -h ErC10 = 12.1 mg/L).

 

Self-classification

Following DSD/DPD, the substance is not to be classified as dangerous for the environment. The acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (LC/EC50) is > 10 and < 100 mg/L, but the substance is readily biodegradable and the determined log Pow is < 3 (no experimentally determined BCF).

 

Following CLP (GHS-EU), the substance is not to be classified as acutely hazardous to the aquatic environment since the lowest LC/EC50 is > 1 mg/L .

Chronic data are available for algae only (ErC10 > 1 mg/L)., therefore classification is based on the available chronic and acute toxicity data. The chronic data indicate that the substance is not to be classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment. The data available for chronic classification are conclusive but not sufficient for classification. The acute toxicity data support the conclusion on classification. The lowest acute effect value is > 10 and < 100 mg/L, the test substance is rapidly biodegradable and its log Pow is < 4. Therefore, the substance is not to be classified as chronically hazardous to the aquatic environment.

 

Atmospheric compartment

The test substance is not listed in Annex 1 of Regulation (EC) 2037/2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer.

The test substance does not belong to the greenhouse gases listed in P Forster, PV Pamaswamy et al. Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and Radiative Forcing. In: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Basis. Contribution of Working Group 1 to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
