Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

No experimental, nor literature aquatic toxicity data are available on the TATD-CLE, therefore the read across approach was evaluated.

The analogues considered were Cefuroxime (EC: 259-560-1; CAS: 55268-75-2) and Ceftaroline fosamil (EC:/; CAS: 400827-46-5).

 

Cefuroxime was not detected in STP influent and STP and hospital effluent water in Norway[2], and this is the only monitoring conducted in the Nordic countries. Environmental data available are summarized below[1-2,3]:

- Algae S. capricornutum: EC50> 76000 μg/L (72 h) and NOEC ≥ 76000 μg/L

- Daphnia magna, EC50> 831000 μg/L (48 h) and NOEC ≥ 831000 μg/L

- Fish (Oncorhyncus mykiss), a EC50> 100000 μg/L (96 h) and a NOEL > 100000 μg/L was reported.

The PEC/PNEC for Cefuroxime was calculated to be 0.002 (N) and (S).

 

Environmental data available on Ceftaroline fosamil are[4]:

- Algae: Anabaena flos-aquae NOEC = 1.2 µg/L and Pseudokirch-neriella subcapitata NOEC = 33000 µg/L. Both tests were conducted according to the OECD guideline 201

- Daphnia magna: NOEC = 7900 µg/L; test conducted according to the OECD guideline 211

- Fish: NOEC = 5000 µg/L, test conducted according to the OECD guideline 210
