Description of key information

LC50 (96h) = 108 mg/L for Danio rerio

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

As there are no data available for 2-hexyldecan-1-ol ethoxylated (< 2.5 EO, CAS 52609-19-5) the acute toxicity to fish is assessed on the basis of data from a study with a similar alcohol ethoxylate (C16-18 and C18-unsaturated mixture, CAS 68920-66-1). In the non-GLP study zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to different concentrations of the mixture for 96 hours.The study was conducted according to a method that conforms to the OECD-guideline 203. After 96 h a LC50 -value of 108 mg test substance/L could be determined (BASF, 2008).
