Executive summary:

Data available for the test chemical has been reviewed to determine the toxicity of test chemical on the mortality of fishes. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

The study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test chemical on the fishes. Test conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). Zebra fish (Danio rerio) was used as a test organism. 0.1562mg/L, 0.3125mg/L, 0.625mg/L, 1.25mg/L, 2.5mg/L concentrations were prepared from the stock solution. 8 fishes exposed to the test concentration. 8 fishes was added per concentration. Test conducted under the static system for 96 hours. The effect of test chemical was calculated on the basis of mortality of test fish’s Zebra fish (Danio rerio). Observations including (mortality, pH, Temperature, dissolved oxygen content) were recorded in the interval of 24, 48 and 96 hours. Based on nominal concentrations, experimental median lethal Concentrations [LC-50 (96 h)] of test chemical on Zebra fish (Danio rerio) was determined to be < 0.1562 mg/L by observing the mortality. Thus based on LC50 it can be concluded that the chemical was toxic and classified as aquatic acute 1/ chronic 1 as per the CLP criteria.
