Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to terrestrial plants, other
- Type of information:
- other: OECD SIDS
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:

- Executive summary:
OECD SIDS (2003):
No guideline study with terrestrial organisms is available that was performed with 4-nitrotoluene. In humid sand, the 6d-EC50 of 4-nitrotoluene for terrestrial plants was about 200 mg/l for Phaseolus aureus and about 300 mg/l for Cucumis sativus (Eckert, 1962). The 14 d EC50 of Lactuca sativa was measured for various chloro(nitro)benzenes and other compounds including e.g. toluene, but not 4-nitrotoluene. An equation for the calculation of the EC was derived (Hulzebos et al., 1993), which was used to calculate the EC50 of 4-nitrotoluene to about 15 mg/l.

Description of key information
For transported isolated intermediates according to REACh, Article 18, this endpoint is not a data requirement. However, data is available for this endpoint and is thus reported under the guidance of "all available data".

Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
