Description of key information
Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts:
Studies on long-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts to fish are not available.Thus, read-across to the assessment entities soluble zinc substances and C14-18 fatty acids is applied, since zinc cations and fatty acid anions determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Since C14-18-satd. and C16-18-unsatd. fatty acids have a low potential for ecotoxicity, the hazard assessment of Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts is based on zinc ions. Please refer to the endpoint summary of the respective assessment entity for further details.
Fatty acid anions (C14-18-satd. and C16-18-unsatd.):
Fatty acids as contained in plant and animal tissue are a natural component of aquatic systems, represent a significant part of the nutritional demands of living organisms, are rapidly degraded and non-bioaccumulative and have a low potential for chronic toxicity to fish.
Zinc:
Species NOECs of 7 freshwater species range from 0.044 to 0.530 mg Zn/L (dissolved). The NOEC available for one marine fish species amounts to 0.025 mg Zn/L (dissolved).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
