Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
The key study for acute toxicity of 1-chlorobutane to daphnids was conducted according to EU-Method C.2 and to GLP under static conditions (Hüls 1993). Concentrations in the range of nominally 100 to 800 mg/L were tested (no analytics). The effect to Daphnia magna resulted in an EC50(48h) value of nominally 452 mg/L. At the nominal concentrations of 280 and 400 mg/L, animals recovered from immobility on the second day of exposure (24 to 48 hours), likely due to loss of the highly volatile test substance.
Two supporting publications reported EC50(48) values of 652.4 and 3020 mg/L under static conditions (Yen et al. 2002, Kühn et al. 1989).
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.
