Additional information
The aquatic PNECs have been derived using results from studies on the acute toxicity to Daphnia and fish and algal growth inhibition for the test substance. These proprietary studies were conducted as water accommodated fractions (WAF) at a GLP-compliant laboratory following OECD guidelines in standard water with a hardness of approximately 150 mg/L CaCO3. The studies showed no effects at up to 100 mg/L. Algal studies report both acute and chronic endpoints, therefore the algal growth inhibition study provides chronic data for this trophic level, NOErLR = 100 mg/L. However, REACH guidance requires either fish or daphnid chronic data be used in conjunction with algae chronic results to calculate PNECs using a less restrictive assessment factor. Therefore, aquatic PNECs have been derived based on acute toxicity results. The results from the acute aquatic studies and the appropriate assessment factors were used to derive conservative PNEC values for freshwater, marine water and intermittent freshwater release.
The substance shows no toxicity at its limit of solubility has very low vapour pressure and a low potential for bioaccumulation and is readily biodegradable and not applied directly to soil. While adsorption of hydrated aluminium oxide, a by-product of degradation, is possible to sediment this is not expected to be hazardous. Therefore, the STP, sediment, soil, secondary poisoning and air PNECs were not derived due to a lack of potential exposure or a lack of identified hazard.
Conclusion on classification
Aluminum, benzoate C16-18-fatty acids complexes showed no acute toxicity to aquatic organisms at up to 100 mg/L (WAF) and therefore does not meet the criteria for classification as acutely toxic to the aquatic environment under the DSD or the CLP.
Chronic aquatic toxicity data are only available for algae. These data would not result in a chronic classification under the 2ndATP to the CLP.In addition, the substance has been shown to be readily biodegradable, with a low potential for bioaccumulation. As the substance does not show acute toxicity at up to 100 mg/L (WAF), the substance does not meet the criteria for chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms.
