Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Data on aquatic effects of 4-ADPA are available on three trophic levels (fish, daphnia and algae) for short-term toxicity and on two trophic levels (daphnia and algae) for long-term effect. The most sensitive acute toxicity is to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) with a 48h-EC50 of 0.29 mg/L. The most sensitive long-term study is also for aquatic invertebrates (Dapnia magna) with a 21d-EC50-reproduction of 0.1 mg/L and a NOEC-reproduction of 0.04 mg/L. For the assessment of microorganisms in biological treatment plants, an EC50 of 511 mg/l and an EC0 value of 31.25 mg/l to the growth inhibition of Pseudomonas putida were observed after 30 min exposure. Inhibition to nitrification was investigated by Chudoba 1986 with a 24-hour EC50 of 30 mg/l.

According to column 2 of REACH Annex IX, further long-term toxicity tests should be proposed by the registrant if the chemical safety assessment indicates the need to further investigate effects on aquatic organisms as indicated by a PEC/PNEC ratio > 1. Having a PEC/PNEC ratio <1 for all exposure scenarios, there is no need to perform a long-term assay as the risk towards aquatic organisms is sufficiently controlled based on the already available information.
