Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The 72-h ErC50 of 340 mg/l and the 72-h NOEC of 36 mg/l in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata are used in the assessment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
340 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
36 mg/L

Additional information

One study is available for the growth inhibition of TAEE in algae, which is a GLP-compliant OECD 201 study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Harlan Laboratories Ltd, 2009g). The concentrations were analytically verified, the 72-h ErC50 is 340 mg/l and 72-h NOEC for growth rate of 36 mg/l based on measured concentrations.

Additionally, a GLP-compliant EU Method C.3 study is available with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for the structurally related aliphatic ether TAME (SafePharm Laboratories, 2003b). The concentrations were analytically verified, the 72-h ErC50 is 780 mg/l and 72-h NOEC for growth rate of 77 mg/l based on measured concentrations.

The 72-h ErC50 of 340 mg/l and 72-h NOEC for growth rate of 36 mg/l are used in the assessment.
