Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
A short-term daphnia study and algal inhibition study are available for nonanal. A short-term fish toxicity study is not available. However, a valid study exists for the analogue substance decanal. The read-across is considered suitable and is justified based on the structural and "mechanistic action" similarities between the target substance (nonanal) and source substance (decanal) and their similar physico-chemical properties. The observed L(E)C50 values from the short-term aquatic toxicity data are 1.45 mg/L (96-hour for freshwater fish), 1.54mg/L (for freshwater invertebrate) and 4.5mg/L (72-hour growth rate EC50 for freshwater algae).
The algal inhibition test is also considered a chronic test. The observed NOEC was 0.759mg/L. Long-term toxicity testing is not available for freshwater fish or invertebrates. In accordance with Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, long-term toxicity testing is not considered to be necessary as the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) demonstrates safe use of nonanal.
The toxicity to STP microorganisms has been assessed using the activated sludge respiration test. The observed 3-hour EC50 is ~ 70 mg/l.
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.
