Description of key information

Additional information

For phthalic anhydride no data referring to the terrestrial compartment are available.

Due to the rapid hydrolysis of phthalic anhydride, data on the hydrolysis product phthalic acid are taken into account.

The only available data refers to the toxicity to terrestrial plants using phthalic acid as test substance. Reynolds (1975) examined pH restraints on lettuce (Lactuca sativa) fruit germination on agar media treated with the test substance. An EC50 of 731 mg/l at pH 2.80 was determined (Reynolds, 1975).
