Description of key information
EC50 (48 h): 0.238 mg/L (TWA)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One key study investigating the acute toxicity Alcohols, C12-13, branched and linear, ethoxylated to aquatic invertebrates is available. The GLP guideline study was conducted under semi-static conditions according to OECD 202. The test organism, Daphnia magna, was exposed to nominal test item concentrations of 0.0625, 0.125, 0.250, 0.500 and 1.00 mg/L. Test solutions were renewed every 24 hours.
The test concentrations were analytically monitored by HPLC-MS/MS. The time weighted mean measured concentrations, based on three representative constituents of the UVCB substance, were 0.0358, 0.0851, 0.176, 0.323 and 0.691 mg/L. The determined EC50 (48 h) was 0.238 mg/L (TWA).
In a supporting static test according to OECD 202 conducted with Daphnia magna an EC50 (48 h) of 0.6 mg/L (nominal) was determined.
