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 acute toxicity to fish was tested in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) over a 96 h period in accordance to OECD (1992) Guideline 203 and EC (1992) Guideline C1. The study was conducted under continuous flow conditions and revealed a 96 h LC50 of 0.75 mg/L and a 96 h NOEC for mortality of 0.5 mg/L. The results are based on nominal concentrations.

Additional information

The acute toxicity of PSOA (Peroxy Sulfonated Oleic Acids) to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was assessed by estimating the mean lethal concentration (LC50) over a 96 h period. Based on the results of a range finding test, the definitive test was conducted at nominal PSOA concentrations of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/L, plus solvent and non-solvent controls. The definitive test was conducted under continuous flow conditions at a nominal flow rate of 35 mL/minute. The cumulative mortality recorded at 96 hours was seven fish (100%) at 1 mg/L. No mortality was recorded at any other test concentration.

Due to the lack of fractional mortality data, LC50 values were estimated by taking the mean of the 0% and 100% mortality concentrations. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) is reported for mortality and observed effects.The 96 h LC50 of PSOA to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was determined to be 0.75 mg/L, based on nominal concentrations. The 96 h NOEC for mortality was 0.5 mg/L, and for observed effects 0.25 mg/L, based on nominal concentrations of PSOA.
