Description of key information

The effective concentration (EC50) value of 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid in aquatic algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) in a 72 hr study based upon effect on growth was estimated to be 199.5558 mg/L

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
199.556 mg/L

Additional information

The effective concentration (EC50) value of 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid in aquatic algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) in a 72 hr study based upon effect on growth was estimated to be 199.5558 mg/L.The other supporting studies also indicates that the values of toxicity to algae is beyond the classifing range.

The summary of the results are presented below
