Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

32 d
Dose descriptor:
NOEC
Effect conc.:

Conc. based on:
test mat. (dissolved fraction)
Remarks:
mean measured 0.3mg/l

Any other information on results incl. tables

hatchability of minnow embryos was not significantly affected (P=0.05) The percentage hatchability in individual replicates including controls ranged from 85 -100% with an overall mean of 96.7% . The LOEC for this parameter was, therefore greater than the concentration tested 0.36 mg/l (nominal)

Larval survival was not signifacntly affected (p=0.05) The larval survival for all concentrations ( individual replicates) ranged from 94.1 to 100% with an overall mean of 96.5% based on total number of larvae released by exposure day 5. The LOEC for this parameter was therefore greater than the concentration tested 0.36mg/l

Larval growth in comparison with dilution water controls (pooled) no significant reduction (p=0.05) found in lengths or weights of the larvae at 32 days post hatch

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The overall NOEC of test item was > 0.36 mg/l ( nominal concentration and at limit of solubility) - however no toxic effects were observed throughout study
