Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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

Alcohols, C11-14-iso, C13-rich is a non-polar narcotic.  Toxicity to sediment organisms should be predicted well by application of EqP Theory (DiToro & McGrath, 2000) to aquatic toxicity data.  Species sensitivity of aquatic species is similar to sediment species.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Performing a sediment toxicity study with Alcohols, C11 -14 -iso, C13 -rich has some practical difficulties associated with it because of its rapid rate of biodegradabilty.  As a result of its rapid biodegradation, acceptable levels of dissolved oxygen would be difficult to maintain, as would test substance concentrations.   Alcohols, C11 -14 -iso, C13 -rich is a non-polar narcotic. Toxicity to sediment organisms should be predicted well by application of EqP Theory (DiToro & McGrath, 2000) to aquatic toxicity data. Species sensitivity of aquatic species is similar to sediment species.
