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.

Summary of aquatic toxicity

Fish

LC50 (96 h, freshwater) = 0.5 - 1 mg/L

The acute LC50 value for fresh water fish lies in a range between 0.5 and 1.0 mg/L. Five concentrations (0.22, 0.5, 1.0, 2.2 mg/L and a negative control with 0 mg/L) have been investigated in an acute toxicity test on zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) according to OECD 203 and GLP over 96 hours in a static system. At the highest concentration a lethality of 100% was observed at the first inspection date.

Microorganisms

EC50 (activated sludge; 3 h) = > 10 mg/L - 100 mg/L

The effect of n/i-C13/C15 amine on the respiration rate of activated sludge was assessed in a GLP study according to OECD 209.

Samples of activated sludge were exposed to the test substance at nominal concentrations of 6.3, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L for 3 hours. Their rates of oxygen consumption were determined and compared with those of controles, which were established at the beginning and end of the culture series.

The reference inhibitor 3,5 -dichlorophenol (3,5 -DCP) was employed in the test at 5, 20 and 30 mg/L, as a positive control. The three-hour 50% effect concentration (EC50) for 3,5 -DCP was calculated to be 12 mg/L (95% confidence limits 8 - 15 mg/L). These results show that the rest was valid and that the sample of activated sludge employed was sentitve to inhibition.

n/i-C13/C15 amine had an inhibitory effect on the respiration rate of activated sludge, resulting in an EC 50 value of > 10 mg/L - 100 mg/L.
