Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Aquatic toxicity data of fatty acids, C9-C13-neo, barium salts are not available. Read-across to the assessment entities soluble barium substances and neodecanoic acid (structural analogue of fatty acids, C9-13, neo) is applied since the ions of fatty acids, C9-C13-neo, barium salts determine its fate and toxicity in the environment.

Acute (short-term) toxicity data: EC/LC50 values of 3 trophic levels (algae, invertebrates and fish) range for barium from > 1.15 mg Ba/L to 14.5 mg Ba/L whereas EC/LC50 values of neodecanoic acid (structural analogue of fatty acids, C9-13, neo) are >100 mg/L.

Chronic (long-term) toxicity: NOEC/EC10 values of 3 trophic levels (algae, invertebrates and fish) range from ≥ 1.15 mg Ba/L to 2.9 mg Ba/L. Reliable chronic data are available from GLP-conform guideline studies for two trophic levels and point to a low potential for toxicity of fatty acids, C9-13, neo and its structural analogues, a 21-d NOEC of 4.78 mg/L neoheptanoic acid and a 14-d NOEC of 2.22 mg/L neodecanoic acid for the growth of Oncorrhynchus mykiss.

The potential of barium cations and fatty acids, C9-13, neo anions for toxicity to aquatic microorganisms is low since the NOEC for respiration inhibition is ≥1000 mg/L BaCl2. Also, neodecanoic acid (structural analogue of fatty acids, C9-13, neo) has a low potential for toxicity to microorganisms based on a NOEC of ≥ 200 mg/L.
