Description of key information

Selenastrum capricornutum was exposed to a Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate for 96 h and the growth rate of the algae measured. The 96 h NOEC was 0.5 mg/l.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
29 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.5 mg/L

Additional information

No studies on Branched CaDDBS were available. However, studies have been conducted to determine the toxicity of a Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate to aquatic algae. Selenastrum capricornutum was exposed to the test substance for 96 h and the growth rate of the algae measured. The 96 h NOEC was 0.5 mg/l. The 96 h LOEC was 1 mg/L. The 96 h EC50 was 29.0 mg/L based on growth rate.
