Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Data for the short-term aquatic toxicity of Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate is available for all three trophic levels, namely fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae. Data for the long-term aquatic toxicity of Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate are available for two trophic levels, namely aquatic invertebrates and algae. Based on the available data, algae represent the most sensitive trophic level for both short-term and long-term aquatic toxicity with an ErC50 (72 h) of 1.2 µg a.i./L for acute toxicity and an ErC10 (72 h) of 0.74 µg a.i./L for chronic toxicity. Since both short-term and long-term aquatic toxicity data clearly indicate that aquatic algae are the most sensitive taxonomic group for the aquatic toxicity of Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate, a long-term test with fish is not expected to significantly deviate from this overall ecotoxicological profile. Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, a long-term test on fish was not proposed.

The effect values for the inhibition of respiration rates of activated sludge microorganisms were an EC10 (3 h) and EC50 (3 h) of 0.25 and 3.65 mg a.i./L, respectively.
