Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No data on chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebrates is available for H250 sulphonic acid.  Data from LABS Na (CAS no: 68411-30-3) as structural analogue  was used to understand the chronic toxicity profile of substance to daphnia. The 21-d NOEC was 1.18 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Benzenesulphonic acid, dimethyl-,mono C14-16-alkyl derivative (H250 sulphonic acid) is a UVCB. Based on structural and functional similarities, data on Benzenesulphonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivatives (LABS; CAS no: 85536-14-7) being registered under REACH, LABS Na (CAS no: 68411-30-3) being registered under REACH and LAB (CAS no: 67774-74-7) being registered under REACH are suitable as supporting study in case where specific data on the substance is lacking.

There is no chronic aquatic invertebra study available with H250 sulphonic acid. The study from LABS Na (CAS no: 68411-30-3) as structural analogue was used to cover this endpoint.

The chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebra of 11.8 LABS Na was determined in a 21 day survival and reproduction test following OECD 211 guideline study. Four replicates per concentration, 5 organisms per replicate, were tested in a flow-through system (a modified Mount and Brungs proportional diluter). Mean measured concentrations were 0.32, 0.59, 1.18, 2.52, and 4.85 mg/L C11.8LAS (active ingredient), and control. Survival was monitored at 24 hr, 96 hr, 7 days and daily thereafter. Reproduction was monitored beginning with the production of the first brood on day 7 or 8, and daily thereafter. LC50s and EC50s were calculated by probit analysis. Results are based on the mean measured concentration of the active ingredient. The 21-day NOEC was 1.18 mg/L, based on both survival and reproduction. The 21-day LC50 was 1.67 mg/L (95% CL 1.28 -2.18 mg/L). The 21-day EC50s, based on total young production, average brood size, and % days reproduction occurred, were 1.50, 2.30, and 2.31 mg/L, respectively.
