Description of key information

One reliable (Klimisch 1) short-term toxicity study for invertebrates was available for Behenyl Bottoms.  The short-term toxicity of Behenyl Bottoms to Daphnia magna was reported by Palmer et al., (2009) in an OECD 202 guideline and GLP compliant study.  Daphnia were exposed to the test substance in measured concentrations for 48 hours, resulting in a 48-hr EC50 of >100 mg/L.

Additional information

The short-term toxicity of Behenyl Bottoms, characterized as Alcohols, C18-22, distillation residues, to invertebrates has been evaluated for this dossier. One reliable (Klimisch 1) short-term toxicity study for invertebrates was available for Behenyl Bottoms. The short-term toxicity of Behenyl Bottoms to Daphnia magna was reported by Palmer et al., (2009) in an OECD 202 guideline and GLP compliant study. Daphnia were exposed to the test substance in measured concentrations for 48 hours, resulting in a 48-hr EC50 of >100 mg/L. This reliable study result is designated as Key for the short-term toxicity to invertebrates endpoint.
