Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
EC50 (72h, growth rate) > 7.6 mg/L (meas. initial)
NOEC (72h, growth rate) >= 7.6 mg/L (meas. initial)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two studies on the toxicity of lauric acid to algae are available.
In the key GLP study (Ministry of the Environment of Japan, 2001) the toxicity to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was tested under static conditions according to OECD 201. After an incubation time of 72 hours EC50 and NOEC values were determined for growth rate and biomass: EC50s for both and the NOEC for growth rate were determined as >7.6 mg/L (meas. initial), the NOEC for biomass was 4.4 mg/L.
The GLP-study by Wierich and Kläs (1994) conducted with Desmodesmus subspicatus according to DIN 38412, part 9 resulted in EC50s (72h) for growth rate and biomass of >100 mg/L (nominal) and 30 - 100 mg/L (nominal), respectively.
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.
