Short-term toxicity to fish

In a pre-guideline study using a method comparable to OECD test guideline 203 with octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD-Alcohol DM) as test substance, short term toxicity to fish was tested for four different fish species (Hollander/Hoechst AG, 1976; statistically re-evaluated by OXEA, 2015 ). The LC50 values determined ranged from 100.3 mg/L (Oncorhynchis mykiss) to 175.3 mg/L (Lepomis gibbosus).

 

Long term toxicity to fish

Waiving argument:

The chemical safety assessment of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD-Alcohol DM) does not reveal a need to classify the substance as dangerous to the environment, nor is it a PBT or vPvB substance, nor are there any further indications that the substance may be hazardous to the environment.

Therefore and for reasons of animal welfare, a long-term toxicity test on fish is not provided.

 

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

The short-term toxicity of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD-Alcohol DM) to aquatic invertebrates was tested in a GLP study with Daphnia according to OECD test guideline 202. The EC50 was determined to be > 100 mg/L. No effects on mobility were observed at this concentration (highest concentration tested). The study is acceptable satisfying guideline requirements.

Therefore, a toxicity test on aquatic invertebrates is not provided.

 

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

The toxicity of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD-Alcohol DM) to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria was tested in a GLP study with green algae (Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata) according to OECD test guideline 201. The ErC50 was determined to be > 100 mg/L (highest concentration tested). The NOEC was 100 mg/L. The study is acceptable satisfying guideline requirements.

 

Toxicity to microorganism

The toxicity of octahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indenedimethanol (TCD-Alcohol DM) to microorganisms was tested under GLP conditions in an activated sludge respiratory inhibition study according to OECD test guideline 209. The EC50 was determined to be 2400 mg/L. The NOEC was 440 mg/L. The study is acceptable satisfying guideline requirements.
