Conclusion on classification

Environmental classification and labelling of a substance is generally based on data from short-term aquatic toxicity results, the ready biodegradability of the substance and an experimentally determined BCF (or if absent the measured octanol/water partition coefficient). Available adequate chronic toxicity data is also relevant for the assessment of long-term aquatic hazards (Regulation 286/2011/EC).

              

Short-term aquatic toxicity data is available for all three trophic levels (daphnia, algae and fish). The lowest short-term L(E)C50 is for daphnia: the 48-hour EC50 is 2.65 mg/L. Since the EC50 is > 1mg/L the substance is not classified for short-term hazards to the aquatic environment according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.

 

Chronic aquatic toxicity data is only available for one trophic level (algae). Therefore, the long-term hazard has been assessed based on:

a) The chronic aquatic toxicity data for algae (72 hr NOEC = 1.68 mg/l), which results in no chronic classification because the value is > 1mg/L, and

b) The acute aquatic toxicity data for daphnia (EC50 = 2.65 mg/L), and environmental fate data (readily biodegradable and log Kow of 4.6), which results in a Category Chronic 2 classification

c) The acute aquatic toxicity date for fish (LC50 = 10.9 mg/L) and environmental fate data (readily biodegradable and log Kow of 4.6), which results in a Category Chronic 3 classification

and classifying according to the most stringent outcome.

 

Thus it is concluded that the substance is classified Aquatic Chronic 2 (H411) according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC & adaptation 286/2011/EC.
