Short-term toxicity to fish

Regarding the information requirements of REACH for this tonnage band, a study with fish is not required.

A weight of evidence approach was conducted based on available data of structurally similar substances. With high probability the substance is acutely not harmful to fish (96 -h LC50 > 100 mg/L).

 

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates

With high probability the substance is acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates (48-h EC50 > 100 mg/L; BASF SE, 2012, project no. 50E0399/11X282).

 

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

The substance is acutely harmful to aquatic algae (72-h ErL50: >10 and < 100 mg/L; BASF SE, 2012, project no. 60E0399/11X281).
