Conclusion on classification
Two study reports (rated as Klimisch 1) on aquatic organisms are available covering two trophic levels: a primary producer (freshwater algae, represented by the model species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) and a primary consumer (aquatic invertebrates, represented by the model species Daphnia magna).
D. magna was exposed for 48 hours to 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl chloride in a static short-term GLP toxicity study (OECD 202) at a limit concentration of 4.3 mg/L (measured, limit of water solubility, loading 100 mg/L nominal). No effect on D. magna was observed. The test concentration was determined analytically by HPLC-UV. Therefore, 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl chloride is not toxic to D. magna up to the limit of water solubility.
The freshwater algae P. subcapitata was exposed to 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl chloride for 72 hours in a GLP toxicity study (OECD 201). In this study a 72 h ErC50(endpoint: growth rate) of 1.629 mg/L (95 % C.L. 1.079 – 2.417 mg/L) and a 72 h NOErC (endpoint: growth rate) of 0.537 mg/L were determined. The test concentrations were determined analytically by HPLC-UV.
Taking into account that 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl chloride is considered to be not readily biodegradable based on ThCO2. (Flach 2018) and the lowest effect value was determined to be > 1 mg/L (ErC50 = 1.629 mg/L), 4,4'-Dimethoxytrityl chloride has to be classified as "Aquatic Chronic 2" (H411) following the provisions laid down in the CLP Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
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.
