Ecological Information

Environmental toxicity, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation data

12.1. Toxicity

Assessment of aquatic toxicity: Acutely harmful for aquatic organisms. Depending on local conditions and existing concentrations, disturbances in the biodegradation process of activated sludge are possible. Toxicity to fish: LC50 (96 h) 640 mg/l, Poecilia reticulata (Directive 92/69/EEC, C.1, semistatic) Nominal concentration. Aquatic invertebrates: EC50 (48 h) 16.7 mg/l, Daphnia magna (Directive 92/69/EEC, C.2, static) Nominal concentration. Aquatic plants: EC50 (72 h) 645 mg/l (growth rate), Selenastrum capricornutum (Guideline 92/69/EEC, C.3, static) Nominal concentration. No observed effect concentration (72 h) approx. 3.2 mg/l (growth rate), Selenastrum capricornutum (Guideline 92/69/EEC, C.3, static) Nominal concentration.
