Description of key information
Following an OECD 201 algal inhibition test the 72-hour EC50 for growth rate was determined to be 12 mg/l and the 72-hour NOEC was 2.7 mg/l.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 12 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 2.7 mg/L
Additional information
A 72 -hour OECD 201 algal inhibition test was carried out using the test substance, hexyl acetate.
Following a range-finding test,Pseudokirchneriella subcapitatawas exposed to the test substance at initial measured concentrations of 1.2, 4.3, 16, 51 and 166 mg/l for 72 hours. Six replicate flasks were used for the control and three flasks were used per test concentration. Flasks were constantly shaken for 72 hours under constant illumination (approximately 7000 lux) at a temperature of 24 ± 1 °C. Samples for analysis by gas chromatography were taken at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours.
The 72-hour EC50 based on growth rate was determined to be 12 mg/l (time-weighted mean). The 72-hour NOEC based on growth rate was determined to be 2.7 mg/l (time-weighted mean).
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
