Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 examination of the PNEC values must be carried out with caution. This applies to the algal toxicity values, since it is well known and supported by numerous investigations that the growth-inhibiting effects of complexing agents and ion-exchanging materials, which are often observed in nutrient-poor, but also in standard culture-media of ecotoxicological standard tests, result from the depletion of trace metals essential for algal growth. For such substances, it is recommended to use a nutrient-enriched medium to avoid respective nutrient-depletion effects. Thus, it can be concluded that the inhibitory effect observed in nutrient-poor or standard test media is without any practical relevance and not to be considered as a toxic effect. Hence, EC50 values as well as NOEC values for algae were considerably overestimated by the available study, and consequently, this also applies for the derived PNEC values which represent an unrealistic worst-case scenario derived from laboratory experiments, but without practical relevance for natural environmental conditions. Therefore, the derived PNECs would not be suitable for a refined risk assessment.
