Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

effect values for average specific growth rates of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, 0-72 h, based on loading rates (OECD 201, EU C.3):
EL50: 46.5 mg/L, NOELR: 1.0 mg/L, EL10: 0.85 mg/L

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
46.5 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.85 mg/L

Additional information

The results obtained for the read-across source substance WS405777 indicate that the test material is not inhibitory to growth of algae up to the limits of its water solubility (<1 mg/L) and a NOEC and thus a PNEC cannot be determined.

 

The same conclusion can be drawn for the read-across target substance WS406663 based on the close chemical similarity between the two substances (see IUCLID Section 13 „Validity Assessment Report“ for the read-across approach).
