Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Propene is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and is expected to partition primarily to air, therefore aquatic toxicity tests may not be relevant. In addition, it is technically difficult to maintain aqueous concentrations of gases for toxicity testing.

Measured data are not available for propene for this endpoint. Due to the practical difficulties associated with the ecotoxicity testing of gases (i.e. maintaining exposure concentrations) the use of QSAR toxicity estimates is an appropriate alternative. Two QSAR models have been used to estimate the short term toxicity to fish:

ECOWIN v1 ECOSAR (Nabholz and Mayo-Bean 2009) calculated a 96-hour LC50 of 51.7 mg/L.

The Target Lipid Model (Mcgrath et al., 2004) calculated an LL50 of 43.28 mg/L.
