Additional information
Vertellus Performance Materials, Inc. contracted ABC Laboratories, Inc., to perform a 72-hour growth inhibition test with the unicellular green alga, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, exposed to dimethyl isophthalate, entitled "Dimethyl Isophthalate: Growth Inhibition Test with the Unicellular Green Alga, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Rebstock -ABC Labs, 2012).
The growth inhibition NOErC was 4.43 mg/L; the ErC50 was 13.9 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 13.6 mg/L and 14.3 mg/L; the ErC10 was 7.49 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 7.02 mg/L and 7.95 mg/L. The yield inhibition NOEyC was 2.11 mg/L; the EyC50 value was 8.40 mg/L, with 95% confidence limits of 8.29 mg/L and 8.52 mg/L; and the EyC10 was 5.25 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 4.94 mg/L and 5.56 mg/L.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).
