Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
Due to the lack of details in the available study on Disperse Blue 073, a read across approach was used in order to complete the assessment for toxicity to aquatic algae. A detailed description of the read across chosen is reported in section 13.
Two studies were available.
In the first study (Dystar, similar substance 1), aquatic algae, i.e. Scenedesmus subspicatus, were exposed to test substance for 72 hours. Only a short abstract was available. Observed parameters were biomass as fluorescence, curve integrated and growth rate at the end of the test. Reported concentrations refer to test substance. The effect levels, based on biomass, were the following: EC10 = 3.1 mg/l, EC50 = 19 mg/l and EC90 = 115 mg/l; while effect levels, based on growth rate, were as follows: EC10 = 18 mg/l, EC50 = 330 mg/l and EC90 > 330 mg/l.
In the second study (Huntsman, similar substance 2), aquatic algae, i.e. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, were exposed to Similar Substance 01 for 72 hours using a nominal concentration of 100 % v/v saturated solution. In principle, this setup may be associated to a limit test. No toxic effects were seen at the highest attainable concentration.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
