Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2004
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Considering the structural similarities of the substances "Reaction mass of Copper,di-µ-iodotris[triphenylphosphine]di- and iodobis(triphenylphosphino)copper" and "Iodotris(triphenylphosphino)copper" and the almost identical physical and chemical properties, especially partition coefficients and water solubilites, it can be expected that these substances will show quite similar behaviour with respect to toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria, too.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD 201
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
