Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
(3E)-2-chloro-3-(hydroxymethylidene)cyclohex-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde
EC Number:
801-656-8
Cas Number:
1416808-92-8
Molecular formula:
C8H9ClO2
IUPAC Name:
(3E)-2-chloro-3-(hydroxymethylidene)cyclohex-1-ene-1-carbaldehyde
Details on test material:
Since the substance decomposes in water, aquatic toxicity from the substance itself is unlikely to occur. In accordance with Column 2 adaptation statement of REACH Annex VII, this study would not need to be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that aquatic toxicity is unlikely to occur. This experimental determination has been performed to determine whether the decomposition products cause aquatic toxicity.

Na2MoO4.2H2O 7 μg/l
NaHCO3 50 mg/l
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Due to a mistake 100 instead of 140 mg test substance per litre was prepared as the highest concentration, therefore, after correction the highest concentration was 71 instead of 100 mg a.i./l
% water soluble fraction at a loading rate of 71mg act.ingr./l: 1, 3.2, 10, 32, 100
average exposure concentratin mg TOC/l: 0.08, 0.1, 1.22, 13.37, 27.50
Reference substance (positive control):
yes
Remarks:
potassium dichromate
