Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Toxicity to aquatic algae: 72-hr EC50 >1000 mg/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 530 mg/L
Additional information
In an OECD 201 guideline study, the 72 -hr EC50 for n-Vinylpyrrolidone (nVP) for aquatic algae was determined to be >1000 mg/L and the EC0 was determined to be 530 mg/L (BASF, 1989). Given these results, it can be said that nVP exhibits little to no toxicity to freshwater algae.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
