Description of key information
The substance is not toxic to microorganisms: the EC50 is greater than 100 mg/L.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study dealing with toxicity to microorganisms was performed with "Hydrocarbons, C14-C18, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics (Pic, 1994). The EC50 was reported to be greater than 100 mg/L.
Moreover, the biodegradation studies showed that Renewable hydrocarbons, C17-C18, branched alkanes are readily biodegradable and therefore they are not toxic to microorganisms.
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.
