- Effect concentration:
- 20 mg/L
Additional information
Experimental data on the acute toxicity of CAS 87-62-7 to aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) are available.
The short-term toxicity study with Daphnia magna was performed according to OECD Guideline 202 and under GLP. In this static study the 48 -h EC50 value of the substance was determined to be 20 mg/L (measured, geometric mean, NITE Japan, 2002).
Therefore, based on the available experimental data the test substance is considered to be acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
