Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
fish, juvenile growth test
Type of information:
read-across from similar mixture/product
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
One of two read-across studies within group of low molecular weight alkyl xanthates groups. Short term fish testing shows similar level of effects between members of the group and between sodium and potassium salts.
Flow-through test considered valid for read-across for purposes of classification.
No further vertebrate testing can be justified.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 215 (Fish, Juvenile Growth Test)
Deviations:
not specified
GLP compliance:
not specified
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Details of analysis were not reported in the review document
Vehicle:
not specified
Test organisms (species):
Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
Test type:
flow-through
Water media type:
freshwater
Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:
> 0.1 - < 1 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
not specified
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality
Duration:
28 d
Dose descriptor:
other: LC100
Effect conc.:
1 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
not specified
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality
Details on results:
Under flow test condition concentrations are nominal, but the toxicant is continuously added to water stream to keep the actual concentrations
Conclusions:
A flow through test appears to result in higher toxicity than a static test.
Allows classification Aquatic Chronic 3

Executive summary:

One of two source studies for read-across within group of low molecular weight alkyl xanthates groups.  Short term fish testing shows similar level of effects between members of the group and between sodium and potassium salts.


Considered valid for read-across for purposes of classification.


No further vertebrate testing can be justified.

Description of key information

One of a number of long-term fish studies found on this group of substances 


Although lacking details of analysis and not providing a precise LC50 value, the key study is considered suitable for purposes of classification. 


The reported toxicity over 28 days with an LC50 of 0.1 - 1.0 mg/l 


The EC10 has been assumed to be 0.1 mg/l for purposes of the CSR

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water fish

Fresh water fish
Dose descriptor:
