Description of key information
Under the conditions of the present study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, MEA Polyborate 1:1 reduced growth rate and inhibited the yield of this fresh water algae species significantly at 10 mg a.i./l and higher.
Suitable for read-across for DEA Polyborate
The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-72h) was 26 mg a.i./l with a 95 % confidence interval ranging from 21 to 31 mg a.i./l.
The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-72h) was 13 mg a.i./l with a 95 % confidence interval ranging from 5.2 to 30 mg a.i./l. These values are used as estimates of the short-term or acute toxicity of the test substance, per the OECD guidelines.
The NOEC for growth rate reduction and yield inhibition was 3.2 mg a.i./l. These values are used as estimates of the long-term or chronic toxicity of the test substance, per the OECD guidelines.
Under the conditions of the present study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, MEA Polyborate 1:3 reduced growth rate and inhibited the yield of this fresh water algae species significantly at 32 mg a.i./l and higher.
The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-72h) was 67 mg a.i./l with a 95 % confidence interval ranging from 52 to 85 mg a.i./l.
The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-72h) was 32 mg a.i./l with a 95 % confidence interval ranging from 21 to 47 mg a.i./l. These values are used as estimates of the short-term or acute toxicity of the test substance, per the OECD guidelines.
The NOEC for both growth rate reduction and yield inhibition was 18 mg a.i./l. These values are used as estimates of the long-term or chronic toxicity of the test substance, per the OECD guidelines.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

- 26 mg/L
Additional information
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.
