Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex IX, column 2, 9.4 further studies on the effects on terrestrial organisms do not have to be conducted since the chemical safety assessment indicates that there is no need. No experimental data on toxicity to terrestrial arthropods are available for Fatty acids, C8-C10, C8-10-alkyl esters (CAS 129677-93-6). The test substance is characterised by a high log Koc indicating a considerable potential for adsorption to soil particles. Therefore, tests with soil-dwelling organisms that feed on soil particles are most relevant for the evaluation of soil toxicity of Fatty acids, C8-C10, C8-10-alkyl esters. Read-across in accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 from the structurally related category members fatty acids, C8-10, C12-18-alkyl esters (CAS 95912-86-0) resulted in low toxicity to terrestrial macroorganisms (NOEC (56 d) 500 mg/kg soil dw). Moreover, no acute and chronic effects were observed in the available aquatic studies. Exposure of the soil compartment is generally considered to be low. Even if exposed to the soil the LCAE category members are readily biodegradable indicating that they will not be persistent in the environment. Indirect exposure via irrigation or atmospheric transport is considered to be negligible based on the physico-chemical properties of the LCAE category members (water solubility: < 1 mg/L; vapour pressure: 0.000145 Pa (minimum) - 0.015 Pa (maximum)). Thus, the available data investigating the toxicity to terrestrial macroorganisms are sufficient to assess the hazard of Fatty acids, C8-C10, C8-10-alkyl esters to terrestrial organisms.
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.
