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

An acute toxicity study conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 203 using Zebra fish resulted in a 96 h LC50 of between 10 and 100 mg/L. A series of tests in a supporting study demonstrated that the branched material is less toxic than the linear material.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In the key study, an acute toxicity test was conducted on a Branched CaDDBS using Zebra fish in accordance with OECD Guideline 203. Test concentrations were 0, 1, 10, and 100 mg/L. No mortality or other effects were observed in the control, 1 and 10 mg/L exposures. The 100 mg/L exposure showed complete mortality and other toxic symptoms. The resultant 96 h LC50 was between 10 and 100 mg/L and the geometric mean was calculated to determine the LC50 of 31.6 mg/L. In a supporting study, eight samples of sewage water were collected, two test substances, LAS and BAS were then added, and the biodegradation of the substances followed for 168 h. At the times 0, 16, 24, 40, 48, 72, and 168 h, samples from the biodegradation tests were taken, and these samples were used in 24 h zebra fish acute toxicity experiments. Results of the toxicity tests show that LAS is more toxic than BAS.
