Details on results:
Due to the steep dose response response curve the EC50-value was determined graphically.
EC0: highest concentration tested resulting in <10% effects
EC100: lowest concentration tested resulting in 100% effects

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The EC50 (48 hours) was determined as 1.1 mg/L indicating that the test substance may be toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of 1,5 -cyclooctadiene on Daphnia magna was investigated in a 48 -h test by Hüls AG (1998) according to EU method C.2. Seven concentrations ranging from 0.4 mg/L to 4.9 mg/L (mean values of measured concentrations) plus controls were tested. The following endpoint was derived:

EC50 (48 hours): 1.1 mg/L

The study was assessed as "reliable without restrictions".
