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.

Description of key information

LC50 (10 d) = 8643.55 mg/kg sediment dw (OSPARCOM, Corophium volutator)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One experimental marine study investigating the toxicity of Fatty acids, C16-18, tetraesters with 3,3'-oxybis[1,2-propanediol] (CAS 91050-80-5) to Corophium volutator is available (Hudson, 2008). The study was conducted according to OSPARCOM (2005) under GLP conditions. Corophium volutator was exposed to five nominal concentration between 100 and 10000 mg/kg sediment dw with natural sediment in a semi-static test for 10 days. An LC50 (10 d) of 8643.55 mg/kg sediment dw was derived. The substance is readily biodegradable and available acute data for sediment and aquatic organisms and chronic data for terrestrial organisms indicate low toxicity. Long-term testing of sediment organisms is therefore not considered necessary.
