Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water invertebrates

Fresh water invertebrates
Effect concentration:
18.8 mg/L

Additional information

As no data is available on the reaction mass of m-Cresol and p-Cresol, the assessment is based on data available on individual constituents. The most severe toxicity value was obtained with a freshwater crustacean species (Daphnia magna) exposed for 48 hours to m-Cresol: 48h-LC50 = 18.8 mg/L. As a worst-case, this value is assigned to the reaction mass for the assessment.
