Description of key information
Zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]:
Freshwater plant toxicity data are not available for zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]. Read across to insoluble/slightly soluble zinc substances is made.
ZINC:
chronic NOEC for one multicellular algae species available (0.06mg Zn/l).
Additional supportive information on 4 higher aquatic plant species available; chronic NOEC >650µg Zn/l on all 4 species tested.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]:
As data for toxicity of zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate] on freshwater plants are not available, a read-across to insoluble/ slightly soluble zinc substances is made. It is assumed that upon dissolution zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate] is changed in part to ionic zinc and that only ionic zinc is determining biological activities. The ecotoxic potential of the fatty acid chain, i.e. 12-hydroxystearate, is assumed to be negligible. Fatty acids are generally not considered to represent a risk to the environment, which is reflected in their exclusion from REACH registration requirements (c.f. REACH Annex V (Regulation (EC) No 987/2008)). For a comprehensive overview of the toxicity of zinc, see the hazard assessment of "Zinc" within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 in Appendix 1 of the CSR and cited in excerpts below.
Zinc:
The EU risk assessment on zinc (ECB 2008) used one chronic NOEC on Cladophora glomerata in the PNEC database. Additional information on long term experiments on 4 higher aquatic plant species was used as supportive evidence, demonstrating the low sensitivity of this taxonomic group.
chronic NOEC for one multicellular algae species available (0.06mg Zn/l).
Additional supportive information on 4 higher aquatic plant species available; chronic NOEC >650μg Zn/l on all 4 species tested.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
