Description of key information

Based on a weight of evidence approach, the acute toxicity of spanish sage oil to aquatic green algae can be estimated using adequate toxicity data of major constituents. Eleven constituents were considered representing more than 83.82% of the UVCB substance.These data are summarized in the table below :

 Consituent Name  CAS Number  EC50 Green algae (mg/L)  Source
 Camphor (27.68%)  76-22-2  10.100  ECOSAR
 Cineol (23.77%)  470-82-6  8.805  ECOSAR
 Camphene (7.08%)  79-92-5  1.123  ECOSAR
 Alpha-pinene (5.56%)  80-56-8  1.273  ECOSAR
 Limonene (4.53%) 5989-27-5   0.522  ECOSAR
 Beta-pinene (4.41%)  127-91-3  1.123  ECOSAR
 Myrcene (2.77%)  123-35-3  0.483  ECOSAR
 Linalyl acetate (2.56%)  115-95-7  0.497  ECOSAR
 Borneol (2.5%)  507-70-0  13.795

 ECOSAR

 Linalol (1.59%)  78-70-6  3.597  ECOSAR
 Sabinene (1.37%)  3387-41-5  0.651  ECOSAR

                                                                                                       

The toxicity to green algae were estimated using the following additivity formulas, as recommended in the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) section 4.1.3.5.2:

∑ Ci / L(E)C50m = ∑ (Ci / L(E)C50i)

Where,Ci = concentration of component i (weight percentage);

L(E)C50i = LC50 or EC50 for component i, in mg/L; L(E)C50m = L(E)C50 of the part of the mixture with test data.

Based on data presented above, the EC50 value 96 hours for UVCB substance is calculated at 1.979  mg/L for green Algae .

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
1.979 mg/L
