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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The toxicity of the substance has been measured experimentally with freshwater algae. Due to the extremely low water solubility all studies have been conducted using Water Accommodated Fractions and completed as limit tests.
EC50/LC50 for freshwater algae: >1000 mg/L
EC10/LC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae: >1000 mg/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 1 000 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 1 000 mg/L
Additional information
Effects on algae / cyanobacteria
The EC50 in freshwater algae is considered to be >1000mg/l. Three of the studies available support this conclusion, with one study suggesting the EC50 could exceed 1500mg/l. Due to the algistatic observations at the high dose level with this study, however, it is considered that this conclusion may not be wholly reliable and the more consistent conclusion is considered to be more appropriate. The top dose considered by the two remaining studies did not exceed 100 mg/l, although the data support the conclusion that the EC50 is above this dose level. As this dose level has been included in the other studies conducted, it is considered acceptable to consider this as supporting data but to conclude that the highest dose level attained from studies considered reliable is both appropriate and adequately supported by the data.
The substance is, therefore, considered not toxic to algae. Nevertheless, adequate controls will be in place during production and use to ensure that the substance is not released to the environment.
The toxicity of the substance has not been assessed using marine species, but it is considered likely to be similar to freshwater species.
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.
