- Conclusions:
- In this study THFMA caused no inhibition on growth of the freshwater green alga Desmodesmus subspicatus after 72 hours exposure. The nominal NOEC for inhibition of specific growth rate and yield after 72 hours was 100 mg/L. The 72 h ErC10 and ErC50 were > 100 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
In a 72 hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Desmodesmus subspicatus CHODAT SAG 86.81 were exposed to THFMA at concentrations of nominal 0 (control) and 100 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with the OECD guideline 201 (adopted 23 March 2006).
The test item caused no inhibition of growth. The NOEC-values for inhibition of growth rate and yield after 72 hours was 100 mg/L (based on the nominal concentration of the test item). The 72 h EC10 and EC50 values of growth rate and yield were all > 100 mg/L (nominal).
Microscopic evaluation of the cells at start and end of the incubation period revealed no morphological abnormalities.

Additional information
One short-term study in freshwater algae is available for THFMA, which is considered reliable without restriction (Klimisch score 1).
In a 72 hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Desmodesmus subspicatus CHODAT SAG 86.81 were exposed to THFMA at concentrations of nominal 0 (control) and 100 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with the OECD guideline 201 (adopted 23 March 2006).
Microscopic evaluation of the cells at start and end of the incubation period revealed no morphological abnormalities. The test item caused no inhibition of growth. The NOEC-values for inhibition of growth rate and yield after 72 hours was 100 mg/L; the 72 h EC10 and EC50 values of growth rate and yield were all > 100 mg/L (based on the nominal concentration of the test item).
