Description of key information

In a 72 hour toxicity study conducted by Hüls AG (1992), cultures of Scenedesmus subspicatus were exposed to hydrocumeat nominal concentrations ranging from 0.24 to 3.6 mg/l under static conditions in accordance with EU Method C3. The EC50 values (72 h) based on biomass and growth rate were >3.6 mg/L (highest soluble concentration). There were no compound related phytotoxic effects.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
3.6 mg/L
