Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

The acute toxicity results show that Daphnia is the most sensitive species with a 48-hr EC50 (immobilisation) of 1.7 mg/l. Based on this value, alpha-terpinene does not meet the criteria for Aquatic Acute 1.

The acute daphnia EC50 (immobilisation) of 1.7 mg/L for alpha-terpinene alongside the fact that it is not rapidly biodegradable and the log Kow is > 4, mean that a classification as Aquatic Chronic 2 is warranted. An M-Factor is not required for this substance as the acute toxicity EC50 is >/= 1.0 mg/L.
