Description of key information

With high probability 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine (CAS 80-70-6) is considered to be acutely not harmful to aquatic organisms

Additional information

Short-term toxicity to fish:

With high probability acutely not harmful to fish.

The assessment of the acute toxicity of 1,1,3,3 -Tetramethylguanidine (CAS 80 -70 -6) to fish is based on the data from two valid QSAR estimation models: OECD (Q)SAR Toolbox v4.1 and EPI Suite v4.11 ECOSAR 96-h fathead minnow LC50 v1.11.

OECD (Q)SAR Toolbox v4.1: 1050 mg/L

EPI Suite v4.11 ECOSAR 96-h fathead minnow LC50 v1.11: 957 mg/L

The substance was within the applicability domain of both estimation’s models.

 

Long-term toxicity to fish: No experimental data available.

 

Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:

With high probability the substance is acutely not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.

EC50 (48 h): > 100 mg/L (Daphnia magna, OECD 202, limit test, analytically verified, static)

 

Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: No experimental data available.

 

Growth inhibition to aquatic algae:

With high probability the substance is acutely not harmful to aquatic algae

NOErC (72 h): > 100 mg/L (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, OECD 201, static, analytically verified concentrations)

 

Toxicity to microorganisms:

Depending on local conditions and existing concentrations, disturbances in the biodegradation process of activated sludge are possible.

EC10 (3 h): 17 mg/L; EC50 (3 h) = 350 mg/L (OECD 209; domestic activated sludge)

Therefore, based on the available experimental and calculated data, 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine (CAS 80-70-6) is considered with high probability to be acutely not harmful to aquatic organisms.
