Details on results:
Phalaenopsis survived at concentration of 10 ppm with only minimal inhibition. However, LAS was inhibitory at 100 ppm. At concentration of 1000 ppm, LAS was invariably deleterous. There were no survivors in culture of LAS which also exhibited extremely low IT values.

Description of key information

The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that 30-day, NOEC cited as a ChV value would to be 7.685 mg/L (ppm) for terrestrial plants. 
The ECOSAR QSAR model predicts that 96-hr EC50 value would to be 17.030 mg/L (ppm) for terrestrial plants.
Field studies to terrestrial plants indicate that Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate affects the growth and decrease in survival of Orchid (Phalaenopis) (Ernst et al., 1971).NOEC was 10 mg/kg soil.dw and EC50 was 100 mg/kg soil.dw
Three species of crop plant B. rapa, A. sativa, and S. alba, were grown in soil containing concentrations of LAS that varied from 0 -10,000 mg/kg dw soil. The seedlings were grown for 14 days, and then weighed. The weight was compared to weights of controls plants. All three species showed a dose-related reduction in growth.
The EC10 for B. rapa was 86 mg/kg dw soil, for A. sativa it was 80 mg/kg dw soil, and for S. alba it was 200 mg/kg dw soil.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 or LC50 for terrestrial plants:
100 mg/kg soil dw
Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for terrestrial plants:
