Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The short-term toxicity to fish was evaluated performing a study in accordance with the OECD guideline 203 (1984). Ten fish per concentration were exposed for 96 hours in a semi-static system to a range of nominally 1 to 10 mg/L forming a geometric progression with a factor of 1.8. The test media were renewed after 48 hours.

After 24 hours of exposure all fish had died at nominally 10 mg/L and 90 % mortality was recorded at 5.6 mg/l. After 96 hours of exposure the lowest concentration at which 100 % mortality was recorded still was 10 mg/L (LC100), with 90 % mortality at 5.6 mg/L and 40 % mortality at 3.2 mg/L. No mortality of fish was observed at and below nominally 1.8 mg/L (LC0).

Effects other than mortality, were observed in fish exposed to 3.2 mg/L and higher. The effects recorded were hypoactivity, loss of equilibrium and immobility. No effects were recorded in the fish exposed to 1.8 mg/L and lower.

Analysis of the samples taken at the start (t=0) of the final test revealed mean actual concentrations of > 95 % relative to the nominal concentrations of 1, 3.2 and 10 mg/L.

The LC50 value calculated at 96 hours was 3.52 mg/L, with a 95 % confidence interval of 3.07 to 4.44.
