EU Risk Assessment (2003):


 


Long-term studies on fish are all based on measured concentrations. The reported values for NOEC are close together. They range between 0.04 mg/l (Broecker et al., 1984) and 0.50 mg/l (Carlson and Kosian, 1987). All in EU RAR cited studies are considered to be valid.


 


The study on Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) was performed according to a UBA guideline


(1982) in a dynamic system. The fish were 4 to 7 months old. The aquarium contained 36 l and the flow was 1.2 l/h. The concentrations were measured. LOEC was 0.18 mg/l (20% mortality and several behavioural abnormalities) (Broecker et al., 1984).


 


Suter and Rosen (1988) report the chronic MATC value to the marine fish Cyprinodon variegatus to be 0.222 mg/l. NOEC is estimated to be approximately half this value.


 


The lowest NOEC in long-term studies was 0.04 mg/l (mortality and behaviour, Zebra fish).

Description of key information

For transported isolated intermediates according to REACh, Article 18, this endpoint is not a data requirement. However, data is available for this endpoint and is thus reported under the guidance of "all available data".


 


Generally, following values have been reported for the long-term toxicity to fish:


NOEC: 0.04 - 0.5 mg/L


LOEC: 0.18 mg/L 


The values were obtained with respect to different guidelines and exposure times.
