Description of key information
Cationic surfactants like C20/22 ATQ are difficult to test in the aquatic compartment as they are sorbing strongly to solids. Normally the analytical recovery of the cationic is good at the beginning of the test but at the end of the test recovery is often below the acceptable minimum recovery. Lowering of the recovery could be related to sorption of the substance to the test container walls but sorption occurs also to the negatively charged surface of the test organism e.g. of algae or fish. Substance sorbed to the organism means the substance is still present in the test system and if it is demonstrated that sorption to the test container walls is neglectable the nominal concentrations at test begin can be used to derive the L(E)Cx values. If this is not the case the geometric mean of the concentration at the test begin and end can be used.
Aquatic studies not addressing this difficult behaviour of cationics in aqueous test systems may result in effect values being unrealistically low.
For all three trophic levels (fish, daphnia and algae) acute and chronic data are available. C20/22 ATQ is most toxic to daphnia. For daphnia one acute and one chronic study is available. The chronic 21d Daphnia reproduction study is the basis for the PNECaquatic, together with the chronic fish study and the ErC10 Algae which results in an Application factor of 10.
In Table 6.1-1 the different test results which are most relevant are given. All aquatic studies were carried out with active ingredient (a.i).
