Description of key information
Data from neononanoic acid is read across to the C9-13 neofatty acids. The acute Daphnia magna O.E.C.D. Testing Guideline 202, Klimisch 1, GLP compliant study conducted in 1998 is the most appropriate and reliable study for estimating the freshwater crustacea PNEC. The NOEC for this study was 220 mg/L. The study used the Water Accomodated Fraction of the test substance.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Data from neononanoic acid is read across to the C9 -13 neofatty acids. ECHA guidance (RIP 3.2, Chapter R.10) suggests applying an Assessment Factor of 1000-fold to the NOEC for estimating a freshwater PNEC from acute aquatic data. Therefore, the estimated PNEC for freshwater crustacea based on the Daphnia magna study data is220 (mg/L)/1000 = 0.22 mg/L. Estimation of a marine crustacea PNEC from acute study data requires an Assessment Factor of 10,000 as proposed by ECHA. Therefore, the marine crustacea PNEC based on the Daphnia magna study data is 220 (mg/L)/10,000 = 0.022 mg/L.
In an OECD 202 on neodecanoic acid the 48 hr EL50 for D. magna was >1000 mg/L.
For short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates, the neodecanoic acid produced a 24 hour EC50 of greater than 1000 mg/L and a 48 hour EC50 of 410 mg/L
In an OECD 202 on C-10 -20, fatty accid -neo the EC50 for Daphnia was determined to be >22 mg/L and
