Description of key information

Three aquatic toxicity studies in algae, with samples of gasoline are available. Acute EL50 values obtained ranged from 3.1 to 56 mg/L , based on growth rate. The NOAEC values ranged between 0.5 and 10 mg/L..

A supporting PetroTox modelled value of 2.89 mg/L for acute toxicity was obtained with a chronic value of 0.76 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
3.1 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
