Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

PNECs for DMATO were derived based on acute toxicity studies available for fish, Daphnia magna, and algae, along with a chronic Daphnia reproduction study. The PNEC freshwater was calculated to be 0.0064 mg/L based on an assessment factor of 50. The PNECmarine was calculated to be 0.00064 mg/L with an assessment factor of 500. The PNECs for sediment and soil compartments were derived from the aquatic PNECs by equilibrium partitioning.

Based on the currently available endpoints, the following PNECs have been derived:

PNECfreshwater = 0.0064 mg/L

PNEC marine water = 0.00064 mg/L

PNEC freshwater sediment = 273.3 mg/kg dw

PNEC marine sediment = 27.3 mg/kg dw

PNEC soil = 54.64mg/kg dw

PNEC stp = 100 mg/L

PNEC oral (secondary poisoning) = 66.667 mg/kg food

Conclusion on classification

Based on the 48-hour EL50 of 0.75 mg/L for Daphnia magna, DMATO is classified for Acute Aquatic Toxicity, Category 1. In addition to this DMATO is classified for Aquatic Toxicity, Chronic Category 3 as it is rapidly biodegradable and the lowest chronic NOEC is >0.1 mg/L and <1.0 mg/L.

An M-factor of 1 has been assigned for DMATO based on the aforementioned acute and chronic toxicity values.
