Description of key information

The substance is inorganic almost insoluble powder in aqueous solution and Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4) is not expected to be harmful to aquatic life. The material is non-biodegradable, retaining its structure in the environment. At normal water course pH’s this material is stable. It does not hydrolyze in water .The majority of the applications for which this substance is used will not result in the material being released to water courses directly. If low concentrations do get through the water treatment process and enter the water course, the fact that the material does not biodegrade, is stable, not hydrolyses suggest that transfer across biological membranes is unlikely. Short term aquatic toxicity tests reported in the literature on fish (LC50 Brachydanio rerio (Zebra fish) >100000 mg/L/24 hr; for Talc) show this substance is not toxic to aquatic life. On this basis the need for long term aquatic testing is waived. Therefore testing for Long-term toxicity to fish does not need to be performed.

The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that the NOEC for freshwater fish would to be  5979.718 mg/l .This result signifies that the test substance is not expected to be toxic .

 

The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that the NOEC for marine water fish would to be  1412.648 mg/l .This result signifies that the test substance is not expected to be toxic .
