Additional information
A study was performed according to OECD 201 under GLP conditions regarding the toxic effect of N,N,N´,N´-Tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine (CAS 111 -18 -2) towards algae (BASF SE, 2012; report no. 60E0487/11E118). The test species was Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The test concentrations were analytically verified. In inoculated samples the measured concentrations were 53 to 80% of the nominal concentration at the end of exposure. Analysis of uninoculated samples from the end of exposure showed that concentrations were within ±20% of nominal concentrations. This demonstrated that the decrease was due to binding of the test substance to the algal biomass. Therefore, the concentrations were stable and the effect values were given based on the nominal concentrations. The 72 -h effect values are as follows: ErC10 = 13.5 mg/L, ErC50 155 mg/L (BASF SE, 2012; report no. 60E0487/11E118).
In conclusion, the substance is with high probability acutely not harmful to algae.
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.
