Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 EC50  for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-72h) for bis[C11-14-(branched and linear)-alkyl]aminium nonadecaoxohexatungstate (EC 700-718-0), based upon results from the surrogate substance, is 0.88 micro g/l.   The EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-72h) is 0.36 micro g/l. The NOEC is 0.15 micro g/l.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
0.88 µg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.15 µg/L

Additional information

In an OECD 201 study ("Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test"), conducted according to GLP, reaction mass of bis(C11-14-alkyl, branched and linear)amine nonadecaoxo hexatungstate (the surrogate substance) has an EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0 -72 h) of 0.88 micro g/l and an EC50 for yield inhibition (EYC50: 0-72h) of 0.36 micro g/l (with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 0.17 to 0.76 micro g/l)

The NOEC based on TWA concentrations for both growth rate reduction and yield inhibition is 0.15 micro g/l. The test substance is highly insoluble and the NOEC was derived from a nominal test concentration (Water accommodated fraction (WAF)) of 1.8 mg/l.

Test results were based on two main studies and a worst-case approach was followed to determine the EC and NOEC values, i.e. lowest effect concentrations were used for final toxicity parameters.
