Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- not specified
- Details on sampling:
- No data
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- not specified
- Details on test solutions:
- Dechlorinated Charleston municipal water was used in tests as dilution water and in experimental controls. This same water was used for
maintaining fathead minnow population. The incoming water was treated with activated carbon in a series of two 8-10 gallon filters yielding a
chlorine-free dilution water with a pH very close to 7.0. Total hardness of this water measured 40 to 60 mg/L as CaCO3. The carbon beds were changed as needed to maintain water quality.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Pimephales promelas
- Details on test organisms:
- The test fish, fathead minnows, were obtained from Union Carbide's laboratory culturing program. Size of the minnows ranged from 1.5-3 cm. Any chemical treatment required to control or prevent disease was stopped at least five days prior to using the fish in tests.
Study design
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 96 h
- Post exposure observation period:

- Executive summary:
96 hour Static definitive tests were conducted by EPA-ASTM procedures using 10 fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) per test concentration in a total volume of 0.75 liter. Temperature, fish survival, pH and dissolved oxygen levels were monitored during the test period of 96 hours. Minimal aeration was supplied when the dissolved oxygen was below about 4 mg/L.
The 96h acute LC50 in fish was found to be >5000 mg/L.
