Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One GLP Guideline study is available investigating the short-term toxicity of fatty acids, C16-18, C12-18-alkyl esters (CAS 95912-87-1) to fish (Stelter, 1994). The study was performed according to the EU Method C.1 with the zebrafish Brachydanio rerio. A static exposure regime was chosen. Three concentrations of nominal 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/L were directly applied to the test vessels without a filtration step. Undissolved test material floated on top of the water surface but no effects were observed by the dissolved and even by the undissolved test substance present in the water. Thus, a LC50 (96 h) of > 10000 mg/L (nominal) was derived. Thus it can be concluded that no toxicological effects on fish are expected up to the limit of water solubility for fatty acids, C16-18, C12-18-alkyl esters.
