The NOEC for the inhibition of both growth rate and yield was determined with 2.46 μg Pd/L (5.68 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L), based on mean measured Pd concentrations. - Executive summary:
A GLP compliant study was performed to determine the toxicity of Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride (Pd(NH3)4Cl2) on the growth of the unicellular freshwater green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). Exponentially-growing cultures of the green alga were exposed to five concentrations of the test item plus a control over several generations under defined conditions for 72 hours according to the OECD guideline 201.
The nominal test concentrations were prepared with sterile growth medium under sterile conditions. For the examination of the inhibition of alga growth, eight replicates of the control (test medium only) and four replicates of each treatment were tested at the nominal concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, 100 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L plus control (equivalent to 2.71, 5.42, 10.84, 21.7, 43.4 μg Pd/L). The concentrations of dissolved palladium (Pd) in the media were measured at test initiation and test termination by ICP-MS (LOQ = 0.002 – 0.004 μg Pd/L). Measured palladium concentrations were within a range of 48.0 – 84.1% of the nominal concentrations at test start and between 34.7 – 61.6% of nominal at test termination. Thus, the evaluation was based on geometric mean measured Pd concentrations of 1.11, 2.46, 6.03, 12.2 and 31.2 μg Pd/L (equivalent to 2.55, 5.68, 13.9, 28.2 and 72.0 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L).
A steep concentration-dependent inhibiting effect on the growth of the freshwater green algae was observed over the range of the tested concentrations.
The 72-hour ErC10 and ErC50 for the inhibition of growth rate were estimated with 2.71 μg Pd/L (6.25 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L) and 4.31 μg Pd/L (9.94 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L), based on mean measured Pd concentrations.
For yield, EyC10 and EyC50 values of 2.11 and 3.12 μg Pd/L (4.87 and 7.20 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L) were determined, respectively, based on mean measured Pd concentrations.
The NOEC for the inhibition of both growth rate and yield was determined with 2.46 μg Pd/L (5.68 μg Pd(NH3)4Cl2/L), based on mean measured Pd concentrations.

Description of key information
No experimental study is required for this substance based on the outcome of a full TDp assay (cfr.
IUCLID Section 4 'Water solubility') and the identified acute and chronic threshold values with other
water soluble palladium substances.
GLP compliant studies were performed to determine the toxicity of Diamminedichloropalladium (Wenzel, 2012) and Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride (Wenzel, 2018) on the growth of the unicellular freshwater green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) during a 72 hours assay according to the OECD guideline 201. The geometric mean EC10 and EC50 values were calculated as 2.26 and 3.57 µg Pd/L, respectively. These are the lowest acute and chronic threshold identified with palladium substances, and serve as basis for acute and chronic ERV derivation.The geomean ECx values of other algal species (S subspicatus and C. reinhardtii) are 1.8 and 2-fold higher than for P subcapitata, respectively (cfr Environmental Read Across Justification document in IUCLID Section 13 for more details).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 3.57 µg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 2.26 µg/L

water soluble palladium substances.
GLP compliant studies were performed to determine the toxicity of Diamminedichloropalladium (Wenzel, 2012) and Tetraamminepalladium(2+) dichloride (Wenzel, 2018) on the growth of the unicellular freshwater green alga Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) during a 72 hours assay according to the OECD guideline 201. Thegeometric mean EC10 and EC50 values were calculated as 2.26 and 3.57 µg Pd/L, respectively.The geomean ECx values of other algal species (S subspicatusandC. reinhardtii)are 1.8 and 2-fold higher than forP subcapitata, respectively (cfr Environmental Read Across Justification document in IUCLID Section 13 for more details).
