Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

ErC50 (0 to 24h) 0.080 mg/L.

Water hardness is not measured.

The test concentration of 0.10 mg/L was the highest attainable test concentration due to the limited solubility of the test material in water and auxiliary solvent, and having due regards for the amount of auxiliary solvent permitted in the test under the OECD Guidelines.

Analysis of the test solutions at 0 and 72 hours showed a marked decline in test concentrations and so it was considered justifiable to bas the results on the time-weighted mean measured test concentration also. Given that pre-study stability analysis showed the test material to be stable in the culture medium used over the study period, the decline in measured test concentrations is considered to be due to adsorption to the algal cells. Adsorption was not a factor in the pre-study analyses as no algal cells were present.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
Due to its low water solubility, the test substance is not considered to be toxic to aquatic algae or cyanobacteria under the condition of the test.
