Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
NOEL (32d) = 63.4 mg a.i./L (Pimephales promelas)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No information about the chronic toxicity of sodium 2,4 -dichlorophenoxyacetate (CAS No. 2702-72-9) to fish species is available. However, since this substance is highly soluble and it is rapidly dissociated in water, being 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (CAS No. 94-75-7) its main product, conclusions about this endpoint could be drawn based on 2,4-D acid data. Mayes et al. (1990) investigated the long-term effect of 2,4-D acid in early-life stages of Pimephales promelas for 32 days, using a flow-through water regime. This test was conducted according to EPA/FIFRA Guideline E72-4, International Standard Method for testing Acute Toxicity to Fish, under GLP conditions. A reduction on larval survival was observed between days 5 and 14 whereas no effects on hatching success, larval length or weight were reported at any concentration tested. At test termination, a NOEL of 63.4 mg a.i./L was determined.
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.
