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.

Additional information

Short-term ecotoxicological testing data for dimethyl cyclohexyl bisphenol (CAS# 2362-14-3) are available for all three primary trophic levels (i.e., fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae/aquatic plants) and also for microorganisms.


 


For fish, exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to DMBPC resulted in a 96-h LC50 of 528 µg a.i./L with a 95% confidence interval of 410 to 681 µg a.i./L. The 96-h No-Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 143 µg a.i./L.


 


Exposure of the aquatic invertebrate Daphnia magna to DMBPC resulted in 24- and 48- h EC50 values greater than 1084 µg a.i./L, the highest tested concentration and the approximate test substance water solubility limit. The 48- h NOEC is 1084 µg a.i./L.


 


For the green algae Selenastrum capricornutum, exposure to DMBPC for 96 h resulted in an EC50 that was greater than 1165 µg/L (the highest tested concentration and reported water solubility limit) when calculated using the number of cells/mL or the average specific growth rate, and 1141 µg/L when calculated using the area under the growth curve. The 96-h NOEC is 595 µg/L DMBPC when determined using the number of cells/mL, and 161 µg/L when determined using the area under the growth curve.


 


Exposure of activated sludge microorganisms to DMBPC for 20 to 30 d failed to reduce oxygen consumption in either municipal or industrial sludge, indicating a lack of toxic effects of DMBPC, resulting in a 30-day NOEC of 100 mg/L.


 


Long-term aquatic toxicity testing is waived in accordance with Section 3 of REACH Annex XI (substance-tailored exposure-driven testing) due to a demonstrable lack of exposure to the substance in the EU to either man or the environment.
