Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Fish:

The acute toxic effects of EDDHMA-Fe to fish were investigated in studies according to the principles of OECD-Guideline 203 and EU method C.1. The LC50 for a 96 hour exposure was greater than 1000 mg/L for rainbow trout and carp.

 

Daphnia:

The acute toxic effects of EDDHMA-Fe to Daphnia magna were investigated according to the principles of OECD-Guideline 202 and EU method C.2. The EC50 for a 48 hour exposure was 4.6 g/L.

In a long-term study, EDDHMA-Fe had no effect on the survival of Daphnia magna at concentrations up to and including 1000 mg/L. A NOEC of 320 mg/L was derived based on reproduction and greater than or equal to 1000 mg/L based on parental mortality.

 

Algae:

The 72 hour ErC50 value for EDDHMA-Fe with the Selenastrum capricornutum was 71 mg/L and the ErC10 was 2.8 mg/L.

However, due to the chelating properties and coloration of the test solutions, results on algae should be considered with care. The end-point for aquatic plants might be more representative.

 

Aquatic plants:

In a guideline study on the acute toxicity of EDDHMA-Fe to Lemna minor the EC50-values for inhibition of log biomass growth (EbC50), specific growth rate (ErC50) and log biomass dry weight (EdwC50) were all > 184.2 mg/L, the NOEC was 184.2 mg/L and the LOEC was > 184.2 mg/L.

 

Microorganisms:

The 3 hours EC10 value for the (read across) test substance EDDHA-FeNa in the Activated Sludge Respiration Inhibition Test was 450 mg/L. The EC50 was greater than 1000 mg/L. Recalculated based on molecular mass correction this would give for EDDHMA-Fe 477 mg/L and > 1060 mg/L for EC10 and EC50 value respectively.
