Additional information
Acute toxic effects of 2-hydroxyacetophenone (CAS 118-93-4) to aquatic invertebrates were studied in a GLP study following the TSCA Environmental Effects Testing Guideline 797.1300 using Daphnia magna as test species (Hoechst Celanese Corporation, 1996, J9602007a). Based on nominal test concentrations the 48-h EC50 was determined to be 56.5 mg/L.
The result is supported by an acute toxicity test with the seawater mysid, Mysidopsis bahia (Hoechst Celanese Corporation, 1996, J9602007c), which resulted in an 96 h EC50 of 44.2 mg/L, indicating toxic effects of the substance to freshwater and marine invertebrates to be of an equivalent magnitude. According to REACh guidance Chapter R.10 the data for Daphnia is preferred in terms of chemical safety assessment.
2-hydroxyacetophenone is concluded to be acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
