Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Data on the toxicity of the fluorescent whitening agents category to soil macroorganisms are available. These data substantiate that the LC50 values on the tested organisms were higher than 1000 mg/kg dry weight of soil nominal (CIBA-GEIGY 918024 (1991) and Solvias S12925 (1999)).
Furthermore, the acute aquatic toxicity assessment covering all trophic levels and two long term studies on daphnids reveal neither a need to classify the substances of the category as dangerous for the environment, nor are they PBT or vPvB substances. Based on these data it is concluded that the risk to terrestrial organisms is expected to be low.
Therefore, toxicity studies on terrestrial arthropods are not provided.
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.
