Additional information
Few long-term toxicity tests have been carried out to study the toxicity of tetrachloroethylene to invertebrates of which the outcomes are in the same order of magnitude.
A 28-day NOEC based upon reproduction of 0.51 mg/l is reported for Daphnia magna (Richter et al., 1983). The test concentrations are measured, the test conditions are fully described and so the result is considered as valid. A lower value of 0.45 mg/l is reported for Mysidopsis bahia (USEPA, 1980); no indication is given as to the test conditions and the result is therefore not considered useful for risk assessment. Another study was less critical.
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).
