Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic toxicity studies of Fatty acids, C9-13-neo-, copper salts are not available. Thus, read-across to the assessment entities soluble copper substances and neodecanoic acids, as a structural analogue of fatty acids, C9-13, neo, is applied since the ions of fatty acids, C9-13-neo, copper salts determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Reliable studies indicate that the moiety of ecotoxicological concern are copper cations. Based on a weight-of-evidence approach and five studies, a 30-d NOEC of 0.23 mg dissolved Cu/L (inhibition of total respiration / respiration rate) was determined for microorganisms. Data for neodecanoic acid (structural analogue of fatty acids, C9-C13-neo) point to a low toxic potential to aquatic microorganisms since an effect up to and at the highest test concentration was not observed resulting in a NOEC ≥ 200 mg/L.
