Additional information

The following data for aquatic toxicity and environmental fate are available:

 

  • Biodegradability: the test item is not readily biodegradable
  • Log Kow = 2.9
  • Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: EC50-48h = 6.7 mg/L.
  • Toxicity to aquatic algae: EC50-72h = 1.2 mg/L

 Regarding these data, tert-amyl hydroperoxide should be classified as follows:

 

  • According to the Directive 67/548/EC: R51/53
  • According to CLP: chronic toxicity category 2
