Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Growth impairment of Tetrahymena pyriformis
Method following the protocol described by Schultz (1996). Tetrahymena in aquatic toxicology: QSARs and ecological hazard assessment. In: Proceedings of the International workshop on a protozoan test protocol with Tetrahymena in aquatic toxicity testing (Pauli & Berger, Eds.), pp 31-66.

Test organisms (species):
Tetrahymena pyriformis
Test type:
static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
40 h
Test temperature:
27 +/- 1 °C
pH:
7.35
Details on test conditions:
Type: aquatic
TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: foam stoppered 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): six to eight, range finding studies were performed previously
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): two
- the chemical is evaluated three times using freshly prepared stock solutions, each test was set up in duplicate


TEST MEDIUM
- media consists of distilled water, proteose peptone, glucose, yeast extract, TRIS-HCl, CaCl2, CuCl2, FeCl3, MgSO4, Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2, MnCl2, ZnCl2
- the media has to be sterilized prior to test begin



EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
population density was measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm

Duration:
40 h
Dose descriptor:
IC50
Effect conc.:
13.3 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
growth inhibition

Result is given in -log IGC50 = 1.16.
IG = Impairment of (population) growth
The result equals 0.069 mmol/L or 13.3 mg/L

Conclusions:
Toxicity to microorganisms test was done following the protocol described by Schultz (1996). Tetrahymena in aquatic toxicology. Tetrahymena pyriformis were exposed to test item for 40 hours. An IGC50 (inhibitory growth concentration) of 13.3 mg/L (nominal) was determined.
Executive summary:

Toxicity to microorganisms test was done following the protocol described by Schultz (1996). Tetrahymena in aquatic toxicology. Tetrahymena pyriformis were exposed to test item for 40 hours. An IGC50 (inhibitory growth concentration) of 13.3 mg/L (nominal) was determined.

Description of key information

Toxicity to microorganisms test was done following the protocol described by Schultz (1996). Tetrahymena in aquatic toxicology. Tetrahymena pyriformis were exposed to test item for 40 hours. An IGC50 (inhibitory growth concentration) of 13.3 mg/L (nominal) was determined.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
