Description of key information
Two short-term toxicity studies on fish with an acceptable reliability were selected, i.e. one on freshwater fish and one on marine water fish. The lowest LC50 derived was 34 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish
Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 40 mg/L
Marine water fish
Marine water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 34 mg/L
Additional information
The toxicity of 1,1,2 -trichloroethane was studied on the freshwater fish Lepomis macrochirus in a static test performed according to the EPA guideline, 1975 (Buccafuso et al., 1981). The test substance was soluble at test concentrations and environmental conditions. A control was made. Test results were reported as nominal concentrations. The LC50 (24 and 96 hrs) on Lepomis macrochirus was determined to be 40 mg test substance/L.
The toxicity of 1,1,2 -trichloroethane was tested on the marine fish Pleuronectes platessa according to an internal standardized protocol of TNO (Adema and Vink, 1981). The test was performed in semi-static conditions, with monitoring of concentrations. Also a negative control was included. The LC50 of Pleuronectes platessa was determined to be 34 mg/L after 48h exposure.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
