Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Multiple tests with fish demonstrate a low aquatic toxicity. The lowest 96-h LC50 value of 97 mg/l is from a study with the marine water Fundulus heteroclitus conducted under ASTM standards (Burton and Fisher, 1990). The lowest NOEC value of 83 mg/l is from an early life stage (28-day) test with the fresh water Pimephales promelas (Dill et al, 1985). Invertebrates are assumed to be the most sensitive species. The lowest acute toxicity value in Daphnia magna is a 48-h LC50 of 27 mg/l (Mc Carthy, 1979). Long-term tests with invertebrates were not performed, however a modeled NOEC value for daphnids between 6.2 and 13.3 mg/L was derived. Toxicity to aquatic algae will not be higher than to invertebrates or fish. The lowest threshold level (8-d EC3) was 550 mg/l in Microcystis aeruginosa (Bringman & Kuhn, 1978).
The toxicity of dichloromethane to activated sludge was evaluated by a simple respirometric procedure set up on the basis of OECD Method 209 (Ricco et al., 2004). The exposure duration, however, was only 40 minutes. Several other studies were available; however these studies were either less relevant for toxicity towards STP-organisms or the toxicity values were indecisive (greater than values). The lowest threshold level (40-min EC50) was 2590 mg/l in aerobic domestic sludge.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
