Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

There was no immobilization of D. magna in the control and 1000 mg/l WAF during the test. 48-hr EL0 = 1000 mg/l based on nominal loading rates. Total peak area of the dissolved components in the 0 hr new and 48 hr old 1000 mg/l WAF solutions was 27 x 108 and 5 x 108 representing a reduction in total peak area of 81%. Peak profile for the WAF differed significantly from profile of light fuel oil in dichloromethane. Only one loading rate was tested. Test temperature was higher than targeted.
