Additional information

Three acute and one chronic studies are available assessing the toxicity of sorbic acid to three trophic levels of the aquatic environment. The results indicate that algae is the most sensitive species with an EC50 of 24.1 mg/L and a NOEC of 6.47 mg/L. The toxicity to microorganisms was tested in a limit test, where no effects could be observed at the test concentration of 100 mg/L.
