Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
EC50 (96 h) 25 mg/L Nitocria spinipes (r/a)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No short term toxicity to aquatic inverterates data is available for the substance Nonanol, branched and linear, (CAS 68515-81-1). However data is available for the closely related substance nonanol (CAS 143 -08 -8).
A 96 h EC50 of 25 mg/L has been determined for the effects of the test substance on immobility of the brackish invertebrate N. spinipes. This represents the only reliable value available for this endpoint and has been chosen as key.
The nonanol, branched and linear substance has a structure which is termed 'essentially linear'. The physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties and behaviour of this substance do not significantly differ between such structures and their linear analogues. It is therefore possible to read-across between the two substances. Additionally these isomeric substances have an identical molecular weight. The difference in composition is dependent on the manufacturing process which may create linear alcohols or simple mono-branched structures. Direct read-across from nonanol (CAS 143-08-8) to nonanol, branched and linear (CAS 68515-81-1) is scientifically justified and valid.
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.
