Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The 72-h ErC50 is 8.8 mg/L and the 72-h NOErC is 1 mg/L in the freshwater species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (tested as: Selenastrum capricornutum), this corresponds to a 72-h ErC50 of 4.8 mg/L and a 72-h NOErC of 0.54 mg/L based on fluoride. The 72-h ErC50 of 4.8 mg F/L is used in the assessment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One GLP-compliant guideline study (OECD 201) in which the concentrations were analytically verified is available for toxicity in algae. The 72-h EC50 for biomass integral and growth rate were 3.2 and 8.8 mg/L, respectively, in the freshwater species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (tested as: Selenastrum capricornutum). The 72-h NOEC, based on biomass integral and growth rate were both 1.0 mg/L (Solvay, 2008b). It was a static test and analytical monitoring has been performed.
