Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Fresh water fish
- Effect concentration:
- 7.72 mg/L
Additional information
Based on the information available the study by Gieger et al, 1986, can be considered the key study. The study has a reliability rating of 2 because the source predates implementation of GLP and development of study guidelines, however the procedure and means of analysis suggest that the methodology was appropriate to evaluate the short term toxicity to fish. There is otherwise no information in the article to suggest that the data are invalid. The result does not indicate that 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene would meet the criteria for toxic in the PBT assessment. This endpoint would not affect the classification of the 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene since the substance is biodegradable and the log Kow is < 4.0.
Supporting studies based on a QSAR calculation and an unassignable MITI (1997) report give 96 hr LC50 values of 3.4 and 18 mg/l respectively.
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).
