Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester did not induce acute immobilisation of Daphnia magna at a geometric mean concentration of 0.30 mg/l, i.e. an initially prepared loading rate of 100 mg/l after 48 hours of exposure (NOEC).

The 48h-EC50 was beyond the range tested, i.e. exceeded a geometric mean exposure concentration of 0.30 mg/l (an initially prepared loading rate of 100 mg/l).

Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester reduced growth rate and inhibited the yield of this fresh water algae species significantly at a TWA concentration of 0.091 mg/l, i.e. an initially prepared loading rate of 100 mg/l.

The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-72h) was beyond the range tested, i.e. exceeded a TWA concentration of 0.091 mg/l (initially prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/l).

The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-72h) was 0.09 mg/l with a 95 % confidence interval ranging from 0.02 to 0.32 mg/l based on TWA concentrations.

The EC10 for growth reduction (ERC10: 0-72h) was 0.05 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.02 to 0.14 mg/l based on TWA concentrations.

The EC10 for yield inhibition (EYC10: 0-72h) was 0.02 mg/l with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.01 to 0.07 mg/l based on TWA concentrations.
