Toxicity to soil macroorganisms except arthropods

This end point was considered for waiver since direct or indirect exposure to the soil compartment is highly unlikely; given the use of this chemical in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging.Hence it is expected that toxicity to the soil macro-organisms with the chemical Eicosanoic acid is unlikely.

 

Toxicity to terrestrial arthropods

This end point was considered for waiver since direct or indirect exposure to the soil compartment is highly unlikely; given the use of this chemical in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging.Hence it is expected that toxicity to the terrestrial arthropods with the chemical Eicosanoic acid is unlikely.

 

Toxicity to terrestrial plants

This end point was considered for waiver since direct or indirect exposure to the soil compartment is highly unlikely; given the use of this chemical in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging.Hence it is expected that toxicity to the terrestrial plants with the chemical Eicosanoic acid is unlikely.

 

Toxicity to soil microorganisms

This end point was considered for waiver since direct or indirect exposure to the soil compartment is highly unlikely; given the use of this chemical in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, soaps, cosmetics, and food packaging.Hence it is expected that toxicity to soil micro-organisms with the chemical Eicosanoic acid is unlikely.

 

Toxicity to birds

No information on toxicity to birds available. Toxicity to birds is not a standard information requirement in Annex IX. Moreover, as the substance is not toxic to mammals (not classified for toxicity) no further toxicity testing on birds is proposed.

 

Toxicity to other above-ground organisms

No experimental data in addition to those presented under CSR Chapter 5 is available. This is not a standard information requirement for environment in REACH.
