ECOSAR v1.11 predicted that the test substance has a 96 h-EC50 to algae of 7.659 mg/L based on Phenols, Poly,  123.324 mg/L based on Aldehydes (Mono) and 352.012 mg/L based on Neutral Organic SAR.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The algae 96-h EC50 for the test substance was predicted to be 7.659 mg/L based on Phenols, Poly,  123.324 mg/L based on Aldehydes (Mono) and 352.012 mg/L based on Neutral Organic SAR.
Executive summary:

The toxicity to aquatic algae of the test substance was determined by using EPI-Suite, ECOSAR v1.11. 


The algae 96-h EC50 for the test substance was predicted to be 7.659 mg/L based on Phenols, Poly,  123.324 mg/L based on Aldehydes (Mono) and 352.012 mg/L based on Neutral Organic SAR.

Description of key information

Key Study: Data from EPI-Suite, EPA (USA) / ECOSAR v1.11. The algae 96-h EC50 for the test substance was predicted to be 123.324 mg/L based on aldehydes (mono), 7.659 mg/L based on Phenols, poly and and 352.012 mg/L based on Neutral Organic SAR.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
7.659 mg/L
