Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute toxicity

Acute toxicity to fish has been investigated in a 96 hour test and the LC50 (96h) determined to be 3.69 mg/L (nominal concentration), 2.22 mg/L (measured concentration). (Q)SAR estimation indicates a LC50 of 0.932 mg/L, lower than the experimentally determined value.

Acute immobilisation in Daphnia has been investigated in a 48 hour test and the EC50 (48h) was determined to be 3.58 mg/L. (Q)SAR estimation indicates an EC50 of 1.33 mg/L, lower than the experimentally determined value.

Algal growth inhibition has been investigated in a 72 hour test and the EC50 values for inhibition of specific growth rate (ErC50) and yield (EyC50) was >6.9 mg/L. The NOEC for inhibition of specific growth rate (ErC0) and yield (EyC0) was 3.9 mg/L. (Q)SAR estimation indicates an EC50 of 0.418 mg/L, lower than the experimentally determined value.

A respiration inhibition test with activated sludge has been conducted according to OECD Guidelines. No significant inhibition was observed and the EC50 was was regarded as being > 1000 mg/L.

 

Long-term toxicity

Data on long-term toxicity are not available. (Q)SAR modeling has been used, the ECOSAR model being a reliable and appropriate (Q)SAR model to apply to diisobutyl hexahydrophthalate, as it is based on a chemical dataset that calculates the toxicity of esters, which exhibit excess toxicity in addition to narcosis. The predicted long-term (32-33 day) toxicity ChV for fish is 0.042 mg/L and the predicted long-term (21-day) toxicity ChV for daphnid is 0.405 mg/L. In view of this model over predicting short-term toxicity, these predictions may be regarded as reasonable.
