Description of key information

Additional information

In aquatic systems, heptanoyl chloride (CAS 2528 -61 -2) hydrolyses quickly and forms HCl (CAS 7647-01-0) and heptanoic acid (CAS 111 -14 -8) (for details see section 5.1.2).

Short-term toxicity to fish

Parent compound heptanoyl chloride: With high probability acutely not harmful to fish after pH-adjustment (96 -h LC50 > 100 mg/L).

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

Parent compound: no data available

RA to CAS 3282 -30 -2: With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates (48-h EC50 = 203 mg/L, pivalic acid).

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

Parent compound heptanoyl chloride: No data available.

RA to CAS 3282 -30 -2: With high probability acutely not harmful to aquatic algae (72 -h ErC50 = 979 mg/L, NOEC = 246 mg/L, pivalic acid).

Toxicity to microorganisms

Parent compound heptanoyl chloride: No reliable data.

Hydrolysis product heptanoic acid: The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated

when introduced in appropriate low concentrations (40 -h EC50 = 169 mg/L).
