The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Fathead minnows (Pimephates promelas) 30 d of age were exposed to dinoseb (2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol) in flow-through tests.
Early life-stages of the fathead minnow (embryos, fry, and juveniles) were exposed to lower concentrations of each compound for a total of 64 d. The no effect concentration was estimated to lie between 14.5 and 48.5 µg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Value for CSA= 14.5 and 48.5 µg/L.

- In the key study, Callet al, 1984, early life stages of the fathead minnow were exposed to concentrations of the test material for a total of 64 days. The 'no effect' concentration was estimated to lie between 14.5 and 48.5 µg/L for dinoseb. Neither herbicide was appreciably accumulated in fish tissue. The whole body bioconcentration factors for parent14C-dinoseb was 1.4. Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) injected with radio-labelled dinoseb eliminated >83% of the radioactivity within 24h as a combination of parent compound and metabolites.

The reliability rating for this study is 2, according to the criteria of Klimisch, 1997 as the study is an adequately reported non-GLP study not conducted according to standard methodology.
