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.

Description of key information

Aryl sulphonate condensate can be regarded as being non-toxic to aquatic algae Selenastum capricornutum and cyanobacteria under the conditions of the experiment given a calculated EC50 of 330 (biomass) and 1000 mg/l (growth rate), which are greater than the 96-hour EC50 threshold value (for algae or other aquatic plants) of 1 mg/l (CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008). The 96-hour NOEC according to biomass and growth rate was determined to be 100 and 32 mg/l, respectively.

Following an acute toxicity test to Daphnia magna, Aryl sulphonate condensate was calculated to have a 24-hour EC50 of 777 mg/l and a 48-hour EC50 of 529 mg/l. It can be concluded that aryl sulphonate condensate is not a short-term aquatic hazard to aquatic invertebrates as the 48-hour EC50 is greater than the cut-off value of 1 mg/l (CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).

Based on the summary of an acute toxicity experiment with Salmo gairdneri, the 96-hour LC50 of Aryl sulphonate condensate was concluded to be >100 mg/l. However, as the full test report was not available this information should not be used for classification.

Based on the information available, the Aryl sulphonate condensate is concluded to be non-toxic to aquatic plants and organisms.
