Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Pseudokirchneriella subcapitatawere exposed to sodium methanethiolate for 72 hours at nominal concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 mg a.i./L in a test conducted according to OECD TG 201 (Gancetet al., 2004b). Cell density was significantly reduced at the nominal concentrations of 10, 50 and 100 mg/L. The measured concentrations were 0, 0.63, 1.13, 5.95, 10.96, 48.12 and 87.81 mg a.i./L on Day 0 and 0, 0.33, 0.59, 2.84, 4.96, 20.48, and 35.31 mg a.i./L at 72 hours. The 72-hr EC50was 6.3 mg/L for biomass and 15 mg/L for growth rate. The corresponding 72-hr NOECs were 0.81 (biomass) and 4.11 mg/L (growth rate). All effect values were based on mean measured concentrations.
