Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Concentration-related inhibition of respiration rates were observed at concentrations between 100 and 1000 mg/L, with the highest concentration (triplicate,1000 mg/L) showing 94 to 96% inhibition.
The three-hour EC50 for M3MC-Carboxylate was calculated to be 210 mg/L (95% confidence limits, 176 – 248 mg/L). The EC20 and EC80 were calclated to be 105 and 418 mg/L (95% confidence limits, 78 – 141 mg/L and 339 – 520 mg/L), respectively.
The three-hour EC50 for 3,5-DCP (6.6 mg/L) fulfilled the validity criterion relating to sensitivity to inhibition (acceptable EC50 range 5 to 30 mg/L), and that relating to the respiration rates in the control (variation not greater than 15%) was also satisfied.
