Description of key information
A 72-hour EC50 value of 58 mg/L (based on growth rate) resulted from a static test in closed flasks with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The EC10 was 31 mg/L and the NOEC was 10 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 58 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 31 mg/L
Additional information
The toxicity of the substance L-menthan-3-one to freshwater algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was tested under GLP in a valid study according to OECD TG 201 under static conditions for a period of 72 hours. Due to the volatility of the test substance the test was conducted in closed flasks by avoiding air space. Analytical determination of the test concentrations showed that appropriate dosing was achieved and that the substance was stable over the study period of three days. The 72-hour EC50 based on growth rate was 58 mg/L and the 72-hour EC10 was 31 mg/L and the NOEC was 10 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
