Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The EC50 of 3-(3-isopropylphenyl)butanal to sewage sludge micro-organisms was estimated to be 50 to 100 mg/L based on read-across from an appropriate analogue substance. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
50 mg/L

Additional information

An appropriate structural analogue, 3-(3-isopropylphenyl)butanal (tradename Florhydral), has been tested for toxicity to microorganisms. A GLP compliant activated respiration inhibition study was performed in accordance with a standardised guideline with a sufficient level of detail to assess the quality of the presented data. The study was performed to a good standard and was assigned a reliability score of 2 using the principle for assessing data quality as set out in Klimisch (1997) on the basis that the endpoint is being addressed using read-across.

The read-across is considered to be suitable based on the structural and 'mechanistic action' similarities between the target substance (3-(3-isopropenylphenyl)butanal) and source substance (3-(3-isopropylphenyl)butanal) and their similar physico-chemical and environmental fate properties.
