Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

One reliable (Klimisch 1; Klimisch 2 when used for read-across) toxicity study for aquatic algae was available for Alchisor CAL 123 with read-across to Alchisor CAL 145.  The toxicity of Alchisor CAL 123 to Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata was reported by Porch & Krueger (2010) in an OECD 201 guideline and GLP compliant study.  Algae was exposed to toxicant in measured concentrations for 72 hours, resulting in a 72-hr LC50 of 35 mg/L, based on cell density and yield.  The 72-hr NOEC, based on growth rate, was 25 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
35 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
25 mg/L

Additional information

Alchisor CAL 145 comprises alkenes C13-14 hydroformylation products and read-across from the chemically-similar Alchisor CAL 123 has been used in this hazard assessment as defined in the `Read-Across Justification Document'. One reliable (Klimisch 1; Klimisch 2 when used for read-across) toxicity study for aquatic algae was available for Alchisor CAL 123. The toxicity of Alchisor CAL 123 to Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata was reported by Porch & Krueger (2010) in an OECD 201 guideline and GLP compliant study. Algae was exposed to toxicant in measured concentrations for 72 hours, resulting in a 72-hr LC50 of 35 mg/L, based on cell density and yield. The 72-hr NOEC, based on growth rate, was 25 mg/L.  This reliable study result is designated as Key for the toxicity to aquatic algae endpoint.
