Description of key information
The test substance itself (short name FADMA C10) has not been tested in the algae toxicity test (OECD 201).
However, OECD 201-results are available for a 50:50 mixture of FADMA C8 and FADMA C10, demonstrating an EC50 = 16.1 mg/l as well as for FADMA C12 showing to be more toxic, exhibiting an EC50 = 0.805 mg/l. Based on an interpolation between the shorter and the longer chain-length, i.e. by geometric mean of C8-10-FADMA and C12-FADMA data an EC50 = 3.6 mg/l has been deduced for FADMA C10 by read-across approach. This value is used for classification.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 16.06 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 4.17 mg/L
Additional information
A reliable study according to OECD test guideline 201 under GLP with the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata assessing the toxicity of a mixture of the registered substance and a close homologue with a C8 instead of a C10 chain, to algae is available. The test substance was applied directly (no vehicle was used) for 72h in a static freshwater system. Good agreement of nominal and measured concentrations was verified analytically. All validity criteria were met. The growth rate EC50 (72h) of the test substance was 16.06 mg/l, while the EC10 was 4.17 mg/L.
Results are read-across to the registered substance.
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).
