Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The lowest 48-h LC50 in the fresh water invertebrate Ceriodaphnia dubia is 18340 mg/l. In marine water, the lowest 96-h LC50 is 18800 mg/l in Mysidopsis bahia (new name: Americamysis bahia)

Additional information

There are several guideline studies available for freshwater invertebrates. The most critical study for is therefore chosen as the key study. For freshwater invertebrates the lowest observed effect concentration is a 48-h LC50 value of 18340 mg/l in Ceriodaphnia dubia (Pillard, 1995). In marine water, the lowest 96-h LC50 is 18800 mg/l in Mysidopsis bahia (new name: Americamysis bahia) (ARCO Chemical Company, 1990). Both values will be used in the assessment.
