Description of key information

The estimated freshwater invertebrate NOEL (No Observed Effect Level) value is 0.2 mg/l based on immobility and numbers of live young produced per adult by Day 21.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

0.2 mg/L

Additional information

The aquatic toxicity was estimated using the PETROTOX computer model, which combines a partitioning model (used to calculate the aqueous concentration of hydrocarbon components as a function of substance loading) with the Target Lipid Model (used to calculate acute and chronic toxicity of non-polar narcotic chemicals). PETROTOX computes toxicity based on the summation of the aqueous-phase concentrations of hydrocarbon block(s) that represent a petroleum substance and membrane-water partition coefficients (KMW) that describe the partitioning of the hydrocarbons between the water and organism. The estimated freshwater invertebrate NOEL (No Observed Effect Level) value is 0.2 mg/l based on immobility and numbers of live young produced per adult by Day 21.
