Description of key information

A study with the registered substance following the OECD guidance 201 and GLP was performed by the Ministry of Environment in Japan. The EC50 after 72h of exposure was found to be 22 mg/L while the NOEC was 4.6 mg/L. Furthermore a QSAR analysis by the Canadian authorities shows similar results with the 96h EC50, using ECOSAR models, is found to be 8.30 mg/L. Ultimately the Danish QSAR database showed similar results with values of 11.972 mg/L for the 96h EC50.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
22 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
4.6 mg/L
