Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
EL50 (48 h) = 2.4 mg/L (Daphnia) (freshwater)
LL50 (48 h) = 2.4 mg/L (Mysidopsis) (saltwater)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No studies are available on the acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates for hydrocarbons, C8-C9, isoalkanes. Based on an analogue approach data are read-across to another C8 isoalkane substance, i.e. 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. A study on 2,3,4-trimethylpentane was conducted by Adema & van den Bos Bakker (1987). Tests were conducted with three different species of freshwater and marine aquatic species including the genera Daphnia, Chaetogammarus, and Mysidopsis. The tests did not follow a standard test guideline, however, they were conducted in a similar way to OECD 202. The acute toxicity, as measured by immobilisation of Daphnia and mortality to Chaetogammarus and Mysidopsis, was evaluated in fresh- and saltwater by using water accomodated fractions (WAFs). Under the conditions of these tests, 2,3,4-trimethylpentane produced acute toxicity to Daphnia and Mysidopsis at 2.4 mg/L and to Chaetogammarus at 5.4 mg/L based on nominal loadings of the test substance in water.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
