Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Duration:
14 d
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:
>= 1 000 mg/kg soil dw
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:

Details on results:
See category for PI, PAM and their salts.

The toxicity to soil macro organisms except arthropods was estimated by comparing with the measured toxicity (NOEC) for PI, PDPI and PPI versus the weight percentage of PAM in each of the substances:

weight%       NOEC (mg/l)
PI              0        >=1000
PDPI       46.5       >=1000
PPI          63.5       >=1000      
PAM       100       estimated

PI = 2-phenyl-2 -imidazoline, CAS 936-49 -2
PAM = benzene-1,2,4,5 -tetracarboxylic acid, CAS 89 -05 -4
PDPI = 1 mol PAM plus 2 mol PI, CAS 54553 -91 -2
PPI = 1 mol PAM plus 1 mol PI, CAS 54553 -90 -1
