EC number: 266-013-0 | CAS number: 65996-79-4 The distillate from either high temperature coal tar, coke oven light oil, or coal tar oil alkaline extract residue having an approximate distillation range of 130°C to 210°C (266°F to 410°F) Composed primarily of indene and other polycyclic ring systems containing a single aromatic ring. May contain phenolic compounds and aromatic nitrogen bases.

Description of key information
Toxicity to aquatic algae data are available for 5 streams within this Category. On the basis of loading rates, the 72 hour ErL10 ranged 1.3 -1.7 mg/L (WAF) and the ErL50 ranged from 1.6 to 6.3 mg/l.
The 96 hour ErL50 ranged 1.4 - 1.5 mg/L (WAF). On the basis of measured concentrations, the 72 hour NOEC ranged 0.30-0.37 mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC ranged 0.30 - 0.94 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 1.3 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 0.46 mg/L
Additional information
CAS No 68478-10-4 (ACC, 2004g): This is a GLP compliant guideline study considered adequate for assessment. The effects on growth rate (r) based upon actual loading rates for Dicyclopentadiene/Codimer Concentrate (DCPD/Codimer Concentrate) give a 72 hour ErL50 of 1.3 mg/L (WAF), a 96 hour ErL50 of 1.4 mg/L (WAF) and 72 and 96 hour NOELR of 0.47 mg/L (WAF). On the basis of measured concentrations, the 72 and 96 hour NOEC is 0.30 mg/L.
CAS No 68477-54-3 (ACC, 2004h): This is a GLP compliant, guideline study considered adequate for assessment. The effects on growth rate (r) based upon actual loading rates for Low Dicyclopentadiene Resin Oil (Low DCPD Resin Oil) gave a 72 and 96 hour ErL50 of 1.5 mg/L (WAF), a 72 hour NOELR of 0.46 mg/L (WAF) and a 96 hour NOELR of 1.1 mg/L (WAF). On the basis of measured concentrations, the 72 hour NOEC is 0.37 mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC is 0.94 mg/L.
The authors report results based on nominal loading rates (WAF) and mean measured concentrations. As the test substance is a hydrocarbon stream with various components reporting a measured concentration could be misleading as the measured concentration does not relate to a concentration of the raw stream. Instead, we have used the results reported as WAF, which better represent the potential toxicity of the test substance.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
