Description of key information

chronic NOEC for one multicellular algae species available (0.06mg Zn/l). 
Additional supportive information on 4 higher aquatic plant species available; chronic NOEC >650µg Zn/l on all 4 species tested.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The EU risk assessment on zinc (ECB 2008) used one chronic NOEC on Cladophora glomerata in the PNEC database. Additional information on long term experiments on 4 higher aquatic plant species was used as supportive evidence, demonstrating the low sensitivity of this taxonomic group.
