Description of key information
The 96hr LC50 of benzyl butyl phthalate to Cymatogaster aggregata was 0.51 mg/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Ozretich et. al (1983) performed a 96 hr flow-through test on the saltwater fish Cymatogaster aggregata. This test was performed to a standard guideline (ASTM). The LC50 was determined to be 0.51 mg/L. This test is used as a key study for the fulfilment of this endpoint.
Adams et al. (1995) performed a several 96 h tests (static and flow-though) on Sheephead minnows, Fatehead minnows, Bluegill sunfish and Rainbow trout. The most conservative result came from Sheephead minnows (Cyprinodon variegatus). This test closely followed a standard guideline (OECD 203). The LC50 was determined to be >0.68 mg/L. This test is used as a supporting study for the fulfilment of this endpoint.
Gledhill et al. (1980) performed 96 -hour static tests on four fish species (fathead minnow, bluegill, rainbow trout and sheepshead minnow). LC50s ranged from 1.7 - 5.3 mg/L. The studies are from a review article and there is limited detail on the methods used, however they can be used as supporting information for the fulfilment of this endpoint.
A number of other proprietary studies are available and are used as supporting studies. These report LC50 values of 1.7 - 3.3 mg/L for a variety of fish species.
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.
