Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC50-values with 95 % confidence intervals for growth rate inhibition of frond number (ErC50) and dry weight (ErdwC50) were 103 (75.1 – 137) mg/l and 73.8 (54.1 – 102) mg/l, respectively.

EC50-values with 95 % confidence intervals for yield inhibition of frond number (EyC50) and dry weight (EydwC50) were 22.8 (13.5 – 37.4) mg/l and 17.6 (12.5 – 22.1) mg/l.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater plants:
73.8 mg/L

Additional information

The effects of test item on lemna minor was determined according to the principles of OECD guideline 221 (2006).

A static exposure over 7 days was carried out. Based on a preliminary test, 5 nominal test item concentration levels were tested in a geometrical series with a dilution factor of √10: 2.00 - 6.32 - 20.0 - 63.2 - 200 mg/l.Three replicates were investigated for each test concentration and six for the control. Frond numbers were assessed on days 0, 3, 5 and 7. Environmental parameters light and temperature were within the acceptable limits.

The validity criteria of the test guideline were fulfilled.

Measured concentrations of the test item at 0 h were in the range of 93 to 101 % of the nominal values; measured concentrations of the test item at 7 d were in the range of 79 to 102 % of the nominal values, indicating that concentrations were successfully maintained for the duration of the test. The endpoints were assessed based on the nominal concentrations.

Effect levels in mg/l on frond number and dry weight were determined as for both growth rate and yield.
