Description of key information
The 72 hr EC50 of sulfolane to Selenestrum capriconutum was 500 mg/L and the NOEC was 171 mg/L. These values are based upon the area under the growth curve, the most sensitive endpoint monitored.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 500 mg/L
Additional information
A proprietary study (Kurume (1999)) was selected as key study for this endpoint. In this 72 -hour test the freshwater algaeSelenastrum capricornutumwas exposed to a series of sulfolane concentrations of up to 1000 mg/L. Based on area under the growth curve at 72 hours the EC50 was determined to be 500 mg/L and the NOEC was determined to be 171 mg/L. The study was conducted according to GLP in accordance with the standard guideline OECD 201 and so was considered reliable and acceptable for assessment of this endpoint.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
