Additional information

TFAE reacts with water and is degraded in Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and ethanol. A read across strategy is used with TFA which is the relevant substance for risk assessment and classification and labelling purposes. However, in aqueous solution, the pH of this substance is naturally low and for testing under realistic environmentally conditions either the sodium salt (NaTFA) or pH adjustment are required.

Two key studies are available for NaTFA, performed according to OECD 208 guideline on three different plants species. The lowest EC50 was measured for shoot growth of mung bean at 4.7 mg/kg DW and the NOEC was determined at 0.83 mg/kg DW for the three species.
