Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Exposure of algae to 2-phenyl, 3-3-bis (4-hydroxy phenyl) phthalimidine for 72 hours resulted in a median effective concentration (EC50) of 2.6 mg a.i./L (95% confidence interval = 2.0 to 3.2 mg a.i./L) when determined using the number of cells/mL, greater than 8.7 mg a.i./L when calculated using the average specific growth rate, and 3.2 mg a.i./L (95% confidence interval = 2.6 to 4.1 mg a.i./L) when determined using the area under the growth curve.  When treatment data are compared to the control, the 72 hour NOEC is 1.4 mg a.i./L 2-phenyl, 3-3-bis (4-hydroxy phenyl) phthalimidine when determined using the number of cells/mL, the average specific growth rate, or the area under the growth curve.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
2.6 mg/L
