Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Scenedesmus subspicatus was exposed under static conditions to a range of concentrations of the water solution as test item (pH 6.1-7.2). After 48 h EC 50-values of > 100 mg/l for the active ingredient and the drying residue were (geometric mean measured concentrations) were measured. A NOEC of 0.065 mg/l for the active ingredient and of 0.071 mg/l for the drying residue were determined.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.065 mg/L

Additional information

The study data were analysed on a 48 h basis, because concentrations of the test item markedly decreased over time and thus the 48 h value reflects exposure better than the 72 h values. As cell numbers increased well above 16-fold over 48 h, and all other validity criteria are met. This is an option explicitly covered by OECD TG 201 (2006) and EU method C.3 (2009).

As the substance was analytically analyzed and the effect concentrations were calculated on the basis of the active ingredient the study with the water solution as test substance can also be used for the toxicity of the pure, solid substance.
