Description of key information
NOEC (28 d and 56 d) ≥ 1000 mg/kg dw for Eisenia fetida (OECD 222)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study evaluating the chronic toxicity of methyl palmitate (CAS No. 112-39-0) to earthworms is available (Winkelmann, 2013). This test was conducted according to OECD 222, under GLP conditions.Eisenia fetida was exposed to the test substance for 56 days at a concentration of 1000 mg/kg dw (limit test). Mortality and growth were evaluated after 28 days whereas reproduction was evaluated after 56 days. After the exposure period, no effects on earthworm’s survival, reproduction or growth were observed, leading to a NOEC ≥ 1000 mg/kg dw.
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.
