Conclusion on classification

Three acute endpoints for three different trophic levels are available. The lowest ErC50 is found for algae and is 0.47 mg/L. Two chronic endpoints - for algae and Daphnia are available. The most sensitive species is the algae. The ErC10 was determined to be 0.052 mg/L. A long-term study with Daphnia magna showed that invertebrates are less sensitive than algae (no toxic effects up to and including the highest tested concentration of 10 mg/L WAf (5.4 mg/L mean measured)).


The substance is not readily biodegradability and has a log Kow of 3.3.


 


Acute classification:


The lowest acute endpoint for algae is between 0.1 and 1 mg/L and leads to classification as short-term hazard in Acute Category 1 with an M-factor of 1.


 


Chronic classification:


The substance is not readily biodegradable and the chronic ErC10 for algae is between 0.01 and 0.1 mg/L. This would lead to a long-term hazard classification as Chronic Category 1 with an M-factor of 1.


Because not all chronic endpoints are available, chronic classification is also based on acute data: with an ErC50 of 0.47 mg/L and the substance being not readily biodegradable, but having a log Kow < 4 the substance would also be classified as Chronic Category 1.
