Additional information
The toxic potential of the substance on the growth of algal species Selenastrum capricornutum was evaluated in the study conducted in accordance with EPA OPPTS 850.5400. Exponentially growing algal cells were exposed for a period of 96 h to 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/l (nominal concentrations). All the test solution concentrations were within the solubility limit of the substance. Routine water quality characteristics (pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity) were measured on these test solutions prior to their use in the test. The cell densities were measured at 24 h intervals. Inhibition of the algal population was measured as reduction in growth relative to control.
No significant reduction in algal growth response was observed in any of the test treatments; therefore, the test substance is of minimum phytotoxic concern and definitive testing is not necessary. No toxic effects were observed against algae at up to highest tested dose of 1000 mg/l.
NOEC (96h) =1000 mg/l (nominal) and EC50 (96h) >1000 mg/l (nominal) for growth rate
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
