Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
The toxicity of (3-(3-isopropenylphenyl)butanal) to algae was estimated to give a 72 hour EC50 of 11 mg/L based on based on read-across from an appropriate analogue substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 11 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 3.2 mg/L
Additional information
An appropriate structural analogue, 3-(3-isopropylphenyl)butanal (tradename Florhydral), has been tested for toxicity to aquatic algae. The study was performed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 201 and EU Method C.3. The study was performed in line with GLP and reported to a high standard. In accordance with Klimisch (1997), the study was assigned a reliability score of 2 on the basis that the endpoint was being addressed with read-across. The 72 hour EC50 was determined to be 11 mg/L (based on growth rate) with 95% confidence limits of 7.4 -20 mg/L.
The read-across is considered to be suitable based on the structural and 'mechanistic action' similarities between the target substance (3-(3-isopropenylphenyl)butanal) and source substance (3-(3-isopropylphenyl)butanal) and their similar physico-chemical and ecotoxicological properties.
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).
