Description of key information
The toxicity to algae was assessed exposing algae under static conditions to a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. The EC50 was calculated to be > 100 mg/L (nominal, limit concentration). The NOEC was greater or equal 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
The purpose of this test was to determine the inhibitory effect of the test substance DL-Panthenol on the growth of the freshwater green algal species Selenastrum capricornutum according to EU-method C.3 and OECD guideline 201.Exponentially growing cultures of this green algal species were exposed to the test substance under static conditions. The resulting 72-hour EC50 was > 100 mg/L (nominal concentration) and the NOEC was greater or equal to 100 mg/L (nominal). Thus, the test demonstrated that the test substance has no toxic effect on algae.
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).
