Description of key information

OECD 208:
- EC50(21-d) = 990 mg/kg dw (perennial ryegrass) test mat. 'Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26-branched and linear' (nominal) based on: growth (shoot weight);
- NOEC (21-d) = 560 mg/kg dw (mustard) test mat. 'Distillates (Fischer-Tropsch), C8-26-branched and linear' (nominal) based on: growth (shoot weight).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A seedling emergence and seeding growth test is available for GTL Gasoil (Goodband, 2011). The test was conducted in accordance with OECD 208 and GLP, however no analytical monitoring of the test substance in the exposure medium was carried out.

Five species of plant were tested. The lowest EC50was 990 mg/kg soil dry weight with perennial ryegrass and the lowest NOEC was 560 mg/kg with mustard.
