Description of key information
Short-term toxicity to fish
Key study: Estimated data: The estimated 96-h LC50 for fish is 0.199 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).
Key study: Experimental results: The 96h-LC50 of BHT in Oryzias latipes was 1.1 mg/L.
Long-term toxicity to fish:
Key study: Experimental results: OECD guideline 210. The NOEC (30d) of BHT in Oryzias latipes was 0.053 mg/L and the LOEC (30d) was 0.14 mg/L
BHT did not cause adverse effects on growth performance, lipid metabolism, inflammation, anti-oxidant response, apoptosis and hepatosis induced by oxidative stress in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) after 70 dietary exposure up to 1500 mg/kg (23.80 mg/kg bw/day) test item.
Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates:
Experimental results: OECD guideline 202 and EU method C.2. It was considered justifiable to base the results on the geometric mean measured test concentrations in order to give a "worst case" analysis of the data. The 48 h-EC50 based on the geometric mean measured test concentrations was 0.48 mg/L and the NOEC was 0.15 mg/L.
Experimental results: OECD guideline 202, GLP. The 48hour-LC50 of BHT in Daphnia magna was 0.84 mg/L.
Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Experimental results: OECD guideline 211, GLP. The 21day-NOEC of BHT in Daphnia magna was 0.069 mg/L and the 21day-EC50 was 0.096 mg/L.
Toxicity to aquatic algae
Estimated data: The estimated 96-h EC50 for green algae is 0.758 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).
Experimental results: OECD guideline 201, GLP. Based on growth rate, the 72hour-EC50 of the test subtance BHT in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was > 0.24 mg/L and the 72hour-NOEC was 0.24 mg/L.
Experimental results: OECD guideline 201, GLP. The 72h-EC50 for BHT in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was >7.0 mg/L and the 72h-NOEC was 1.7 mg/L based on growth rate.
Toxicity to microorganisms
Tetrahymena pyriformis. EC50 (24h)= 1.7 mg/L based on growth inhibition.
The 30min-EC50 of BHT to Photobacterium phosphoreum based on light emission is 8.98 mg/L.
The 36h-NOEC of BHT to Pseudomona fluorescens based on the number of viable cells was 50 mg/L.

Key study: Estimated data: The estimated 96-h EC50 for green algae is 0.758 mg/l (ECOSAR v1.00a, phenols class).
A growth inhibition test was conducted with the test subtance BHT in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata according to OECD GLP standards and OECD guideline 201 by the Ministry of the Envinronment in Japan. Based on growth rate, the 72hour-EC50 of the test subtance BHT in Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was > 0.24 mg/L and the 72hour-NOEC was 0.24 mg/L.
