Description of key information
In the algae growth inhibition test [OECD TG201], an EC50 (72 hr) of 68 mg/l (Selenastrum capricornutum, growth rate 24-72hr) and 64 mg/l (biomass, 72hr) were reported and the NOEC value determined was 27.5 mg/l (growth rate, 24-72 hr and biomass, 72hr).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 68 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 27.5 mg/L
Additional information
In a 72 hour acute toxicity study, the cultures of Selenastrum capricornutum were exposed to tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA) at nominal concentrations of 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with OECD Guideline 201. An EC50 (72 hr) of 68 mg/l (growth rate 24-72hr) and 64 mg/l (biomass, 72hr) were reported and the NOEC value determined was 27.5 mg/l (growth rate, 24-72 hr and biomass, 72hr).
This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for algae toxicity study.
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).
