Description of key information
A sample of diesel fuel was tested in a 'read-across' acute algal toxicity study. The 72hr EL50 was determined to be 10 mg/l, with a NOEC of 3 mg/l.
A supporting PetroTox modelled value of 995.67 mg/L for acute toxicity was obtained with a chronic value of 0.55 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 10 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 3 mg/L
Additional information
A sample of diesel fuel was tested in an acute algal toxicity study using the WAF methodology and following OECD Guideline 201.
The 72 -hour EL50 (loading rate resulting in 50% decrease in growth of algae) was 10 mg/L. The NOEL was 3 mg/L.
A supporting PetroTox modelled value of 995.67 mg/L for acute toxicity was obtained with a chronic value of 0.55 mg/L.
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.
