Description of key information
The effect of the test material on the growth of Desmodesmus subspicatus gave an EC50 values of greater than 100 mg/L. Correspondingly, the No Observed Effect Concentration was 100 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
In the algal growth inhibition test with Desmodesmus subspicatus (Report No. 0732/0162), the effects of the test item (OG or 2 -ethyl-1,3 -hexanediol) were determined according to OECD 201 (2006) and Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 Method C.3 2008 from 4 September 2009 to 25 October 2009 at Harlan Laboratories Ltd, Shardlow Business Park, Shardlow Derbyshire, DE72 2GD UK.
Following a preliminary range finding test, Desmodesmus subspicatus was exposed to an aqeuous solution of the test material at a concentration of 100 mg/L (six replicate flasks) for 72 hours, under constant illumination and shaking at a temperature of 24 ± 1°C. Samples of the algal
populations were removed daily and cell concentrations determined for each control and treatment group, using a Coulter Multisizer Particle Counter. Exposures of Desmodesmus subspicatus to the test material gave EC50 values of greater than 100 mg/L and correspondingly the No Observed Effect Concentration was 100 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
