Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data

Description of key information
Substance is a gas of low solubility and is expected to quickly disappear from the aquatic phase. Therefore, any impact on the aquatic environment is expected to be low. According to 9.1.3 Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII the study need not be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that aquatic toxicity it unlikely to occur.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water fish
Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 379 mg/L
Additional information
Substance is a gas of low solubility and is expected to quickly disappear from the aquatic phase. Therefore, any impact on the aquatic environment is expected to be low. According to 9.1.3 Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII the study need not be conducted if there are mitigating factors indicating that aquatic toxicity it unlikely to occur. However, the lethal concentration (LC50) of TFE to fish was estimated by ECOSAR v1.00 as 379 mg/l. This LC50 value is considerably greater than the solubility of TFE in water of 110 mg/l, obtained in equilibrium with a gas phase containing 1 atmosphere of TFE. Hence, in practice, toxic concentrations of TFE to fish in the aquatic environment cannot be achieved.
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.
