Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to terrestrial plants: Key studies: Read-across from trichloroacetic acid. The EC50 value (2 weeks) of trichloroacetic acid for Avena sativa in a loam sand soil culture was 4.6 mg/kg soil dw. The NOEC value was 1 mg/kg. (test method acccording to OECD guideline 208).
With sodium trichloroacetate, ED50 values of 100 ± 9.1 and 12 mg/L nutrient solution were calculated from the 50% reduction of the total biomass (excluding the roots) and the seed mass, respectively (total life-cycle of the plant). Test method was according to the German guideline: Biologische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany, March 1984.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Short-term EC50 or LC50 for terrestrial plants:
5.22 mg/kg soil dw

Additional information

Key studies: Read-across from trichloroacetic acid: Test method according to OECD guideline 208. The EC50 value of trichloroacetic acid for Avena sativa in a loam sand soil culture was 4.6 mg/kg soil dw. The NOEC value was 1 mg/kg.

Based on the molecular weights, the EC50 for sodium trichloroacetate would be 5.22 mg/kg soil dw.

Another study with sodium trichloroacetate shows ED50 values of 100 ± 9.1 and 12 mg/L nutrient solution calculated from the 50% reduction of the total biomass (excluding the roots) and the seed mass, respectively (total life-cycle of the plant). Test method was according to the German guideline: Biologische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany, March 1984.
