Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Based on the analytical problems observed in the experimental ecotoxicological studies, a weight of evidence approach with QSAR estimations has been considered more appropriate to assess the aquatic toxicity of the substance than basing the results uniquely upon the exisiting aquatic dataset. Further investigation is ongoing on this difficult substance in order to determine whether instability or analytical issues accounted for the loss observed in older test samples.

To obtain reliable endpoint values, geometric means between the experimental results (based on initial measured concentrations) and the QSAR estimations (ECOSAR v1.11 QSAR model available from the U.S. EPA) were determined for three trophic levels: Algae, Invertebrates and Fish. The results are summarised in the table below.

Toxicity to microorganisms, Caspers, 1996, RS, K

Among all data available, fish seems to be the most sensitive species in acute exposure with an estimated 96h-LC50 at 1.87 mg/L. 

No valid chronic studies are available. The choice to perform long-term studies will be defined after further investigation on this difficult substance.
