3-chloroaniline

Toxicity to terrestrial plants

Description of key information

The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) of 3-chloroaniline in plant [Lactuca sativa (Lettuce)] in a 14 days study period on the basis of mortality effect was found to be 32 mg/kg.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Long-term EC10, LC10 or NOEC for terrestrial plants:

32

Additional information

No. of studies were reviewed for toxicity to terrestrial plants from reliable sources having Klimisch rating 2 and 4.

The summary of the results are presented below  

 

Sr.No	Endpoint	Effect values	Basis for effects	Duration	Species	Sources
1	NOEC	32 mg/kg	Mortality	14 days	Lactuca sativa	Experimental data from TNO-Rapport No.21003 for CAS : 108-42-9
2	EC50	15 mg/kg	Mortality	14 days	Lactuca sativa	Experimental data from TNO-Rapport No.21003 for CAS : 108-42-9
3	EC50	15 mg/kg soil	Population	14 days	Lactuca sativa	Experimental data from Environ. Toxicol. Chem.for CAS : 108-42-9

 

Based on the studies summarized in the above table for the target substance 3-chloroaniline in terrestrial plants (Lactuca sativa),the endpoint value was found to vary between the effective concentration (EC50) = 15 mg/kg and no observed effect concentration (NOEC)= 32mg/kg

in a 14 days study on the basis of mortality and population effect.
