Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The growth of Colpidium campylum has been determined in a 43 h test and the minimal active dose was determined.

not specified
Total exposure duration:
43 h
Test temperature:
20°C
Details on test conditions:

Further information is depicted in the illustration below.
Duration:
43 h
Dose descriptor:
LOEC
Effect conc.:
> 10 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
growth inhibition
Details on results:
At the highest concentration tested (10 mg/L), no inhibition of the growth of Colpidium campylum was observed when compared to the solvent control.
Reported statistics and error estimates:
covariance analysis
Conclusions:
43 h- LOEC Colpidium campylum: > 10 mg/L (highest tested concentration)
Executive summary:

At the highest concentration tested (10 mg fenuron /L), no inhibition of the growth of Colpidium campylum was observed when compared to the solvent control.

Even if Colpidium campylum is not a standard test organisms, the result is considered to be relevant for the risk assessment of fenuron since the test was performed as reproduction test.

According to Granner and Foissner (1989) this species was also found in sewage treatment plants and is hence relevant.
