Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No toxicity studies have been carried out on terrestrial plants with registration substance. PETROTOX model v 4.01 predicted values are available.

The predicted 14-d EL50 (seedling emergence) of this substance to Avena sativa is 3,534 mg/kg soil dw and the predicted 21-d EL10 (growth) is 677 mg/kg soil dw.

The predicted 14-d EL50 (seedling emergence) of this substance to Brassica rapa is 2,282 mg/kg soil dw and the predicted 21-d EL10 (growth) is 437 mg/kg soil dw.

Additional information

The registered substance is a complex petroleum UVCB whose constituents have variable physicochemical properties. Therefore, a modeling framework is needed to account for the bioavailability of the constituents in the mixture, which was then used to predict the toxicity of the substance as a whole. The target lipid model (TLM) and HC5, have been applied to soils and sediment using equilibrium partitioning (EqP) model. As such, modeled data are considered fit for purpose. The model used for the calculations was the PETROTOX v4.0 model. PETROTOX is a well-documented and peer reviewed model that is widely used across the chemicals industry.
