Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The effect of Carvacrol test item was assessed on algal growth
using the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
(formerly known as Selenastrum
capricornutum), over an exposure period of 72 hours. With respect to the
inhibitory effect of the test item, the 0-72 h average specific growth
rates were significantly different from that of the control group in the
examined concentration range of 2.5-10.0 mg/L (nominal), therefore the
NOEC was determined as 1.25 mg/L (nominal) and LOEC was determined as
2.5 mg/L(nominal). The 0-72 h areas and yield were significantly
different from that of the control group in the examined concentration
range of 1.25-10.0 mg/L (nominal). The NOEC was determined as 0.625 mg/L
(nominal); the LOEC was determined as 1.25 mg/L (nominal).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 4.05 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 1.25 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.
