Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The determination of the growth inhibition of the freshwater algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previously known as Raphidocelis subcapitata and Selenastrum capricornutum) exposed to the test item Di-tert-amyl peroxide for a duration of 72 hours was assessed according to the OECD Guideline 201. Algae were exposed to one concentration of 200 mg substance/L dissolved in dilution water.

It was concluded that Di-tert-amyl peroxide has no significant effect on growth rate of algae up to its water solubility limit.
