The maximum permissible concentration in water (MPCwater) is the level at which no harmful effects are expected, based on annual concentrations. This MPC is based on three routes: direct toxicity, secondary poisoning and consumption of fish by humans. Direct toxicity is the most critical of these three routes and determines the overall MPC for fresh- and saltwater (1.1 microgram per liter). The Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MACwater, eco), that protects the ecosystem from effects of short term concentration peaks, is 6.7 microgram per liter for fresh- and saltwater.

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.
