Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The PNEC for the aquatic compartment is based on the short-term LC50 in fish, which in this case is the most sensitive trophic level. The assessment factor is based on the fact that at least one short-term L(E)C50 is present from each of three trophic levels (fish, invertebrates and algae) an data from a reproduction test with Daphnia. The LC50 value for fish was even lower than the NOEC of the long-term test with Daphnia.

For the compartments: sediment and soil, the use of statistical extrapolation is preferred for further PNEC derivation rather than the use of an assessment factor on the lowest NOEC. These calculations are all based on the PNEC for the aquatic compartment, which makes this a key value for PNEC determinations.

Conclusion on classification

Classification is based on the fact that the 96 hr LC50 (for fish) ≤ 1 mg/l, which means that the substance is classified as Acute Category 1. The harmonized classification and labelling within the EU also indicates classification of DAP as category 1 for aquatic chronic toxicity. This classification can be disputed because, although not readily degradable, DAP degrades by more than 70% within four weeks and the experimentally determined BCF is well below 500 with a log Kow < 4.
