Description of key information
Algal growth inhibition: EC50 (72 hour) - 68 mg/L (growth rate); 64 mg/L (biomass). NOEC - 27.5 mg/L (growth rate and biomass).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 68 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 27.5 mg/L
Additional information
In a 72 hour study, the cultures of Selenastrum capricornutum were exposed to an analogue of the substance, tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA), at nominal concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with OECD Guideline 201. An EC50 of 68 mg/L (growth rate) and 64 mg/L (biomass) were reported and the NOEC value determined was 27.5 mg/L (growth rate and biomass).
In accordance with ECHA guidance oninformation requirements and chemical safety assessment,Chapter R.7b: Endpoint specific guidance, theErC50 endpoint is used in DNEL derivation. This is because use of values based on biomass cannot be applied to an analysis of results from a system in exponential growth without logarithmic transformation.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
