Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

PNECs were derived based on test data following standard guidelines. All data are considered to be reliable and relevant for the endpoint concerned.

Short-term aquatic data in freshwater are available for three trophic levels for the test item. The most sensitive endpoint was determined to be Daphnia, with a 48 -hour EC50 of 0.2 mg/L (Brixham 2012). This endpoint was used to derive the PNECs for freshwater, marine water and intermittent releases by assessment factor method, and freshwater sediment, marine sediment and soil by equilibrium partitioning approach.

For derivation of the PNEC for STP, the NOEC of 60 mg/L was taken from the 3-hour respiration inhibition test (Brixham 2012). A PNEC of 6 mg/L is derived by applying an assessment factor of 10.

The test item it is considered to be not a precursor to ozone formation and is not expected to be a significant contribution to global warming. The test item is not an ozone depleting substance as defined by the Montreal Protocol and does not contain chemical constituents that would lead to acidification.

No hazard is expected from secondary poisoning.

Conclusion on classification

Acute aquatic data are available for three trophic levels for the test item. Chronic toxicity data are only available for algae. The most sensitive endpoint was determined to be Daphnia, with a 48 -hour ErC50 of 0.2 mg/L (Brixham 2012). The test item is highly soluble in water with solubility of 143 g/L and the acute toxicity result for the most sensitive trophic level is ≤ 1 mg/L, therefore the test item is classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment with Category Acute 1 and an M-factor of 1 is applied. Since chronic data is available only for algae for the test item, classification with both the acute and chronic data must be considered and the substance classified according to the most stringent outcome. Therefore, based on acute toxicity data ≤ 1 mg/L, the test item is classified as Category Chronic 1 and an M-factor of 1 is applied.
