Additional information

The toxicity of 1-methylpiperazine was investigated in a limit test according to OECD 203 (Labcorp 8493667, 2022). Exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to the test item gave LC50 values based on the nominal test concentration of greater than 100 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 100 mg/L. Analysis of the freshly prepared test preparations at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours showed the measured test concentration to range from 83% to 106% of nominal. Analysis of the expired test preparations at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours showed the measured test concentration to range from 92% to 100% of nominal. Therefore, the results relate to the nominal values.

These findings are supported by a study according to DIN 38412, part 15 on the Golden orfe, Leuciscus idus (BASF AG, 1988.10F0175/885150). In this study, the 96-hour LC50 was determined to be > 1000 mg/L, i.e. the highest concentration tested based on nominal concentrations. No sublethal effects were observed. The no observed-effect concentration (NOEC) was 1000 mg/L (nominal), the highest concentration tested.

It can be concluded that the substance is with high probability acutely not harmful to fish.
