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

In a 72-h Algal Growth Inhibition Study, algae (Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata) were exposed to B508 at nominal concentrations of 0 (test/culture medium control), 0.10, 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L under static conditions.
The NOEC value for growth rate was 0.21 mg/L and the EC50 for growth rate 2 mg/L (as calculated from measured TOC concentrations).
The present toxicity study is classified as reliable with restrictions as the results are based on measured TOC concentrations which are non-discriminative by nature.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
2 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.21 mg/L
