- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Water accommodated fractions (WAF)

WAF: Individual preparation of WAFs by stirring appropriate amounts of the test substance in growth medium (according to ISO 14442:2006). The solutions were stirred with a spin-bar for 22 hours with a speed which formed a vortex one-third of the depth of the fluid content followed by standstill for about 1.5 hour. - Test organisms (species):

- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Skeletonema costatum
- Strain: NIVA-BAC 1
- Source: originally isolated from the Oslo fiord (1962)
- Method of cultivation: In the laboratory the algae were held at 15 ± 2 °C under continuous light from fluorescent tubes of universal natural white type. Sub-cultures were started twice to three times a week by transferring amounts of the growing culture to approx. 50 mL of fresh growth medium.
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: 4 d (2009-11-6 to 2009-11-10)
- The culture was bought from Norsk Institut for Vannforskning (NIVA) in Oslo on 25.09.2009.
- The pre-culture used in this test was started at 25.09.2009 and incubated on an orbital shaker.
- The cell number was determined by microscope counting using a Palmer-Maloney counting slide. - Test type:

- Dose descriptor:
- EL50
- Effect conc.:
- 38.7 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- other: WAF (Water accommodated fraction)
- Duration:
- 72 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 3 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- other: WAF
- Details on results:
- A significant growth-stimulating effect was observed at the test concentration 3.0 mg/L WAF, which means that this concentration gave responses differing from the blank by showing a higher growth rate. This is why NOEC is stated as the highest test concentration without significant growth inhibition.
Concentrations above 3 mg/L led to growth inhibition with an interpolated EL50 of 38.7 mg/L. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
Reference
Description of key information
A growth inhibiting effect was documented and an EL50 of 38.7 mg/L was determined (BASF SE, 2009).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data on aquatic toxicity with the salt disodium sebacate are available. Only data on the acid are available:
In 72 hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Skeletonema costatum were exposed to sebacic acid at nominal concentrations of 3.0, 10.0, 31.9, 100, and 320 mg/L WAF under static conditions in accordance with the ISO 10253 (BASF SE, 2009). The determination of the EL50 based on the reduced growth rate in treated groups. The EL50 and NOEL values based on cell density was 38.7 and 3 mg/L, respectively.
However, according to ECHA guidance R7b effects can be extrapolated from the anion or cation, whichever has the most toxic effect, if no data are available on a salt.
If the effect is related to only one of the ions, the classification of the salt should use the effect concentration multiplied by the salt/ion molecular weight ratio.
The molecular weight ratio between salt and ion is 246 : 202 (1.22)
Based on this correction the EL 50 and NOEC for disodium sebacate in a growth inhibition study with marine Sketelonema costatum was determined to be 47.2 and 3.7 mg/L, respectively.
