Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study investigating the short-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, trimers, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS No. 173832-46-7) to aquatic invertebrates is available. The GLP study was performed under static conditions according to OECD guideline 202 using Daphnia magna as test organism (Harding, 1997). The substance was tested in concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal). After 48 hours, 35% immobilization was reported at concentrations of 10 and 100 mg/L, whereas 10% immobilization was observed at the lowest concentration of 1 mg/L. The observed effects occurred above the water solubility of the substance and therefore, they are expected to be physical (caused by direct interference with undissolved test substance) rather than due to intrinsic toxicity. Indeed, high turbidity of test medium was observed at the highest concentration of 100 mg/L, indicating the possibility of physical effects. The EC50 (48 h) was determined to be > 100 mg/L on the basis of the nominal concentration.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
