- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test material produced no visble effects in zebra-fish at or below 3.2 mg/L (NOEC)
The 96 h LC50 was 4.2 mg/L based on analytically confirmed nominal exposure concentrations (with 0% mortality at 3.2 mg/L and 100% mortality at 5.6 mg/L) and was already reached after 48 hours of exposure. - Executive summary:
In a semi-static 96-hour acute toxicity study in zebra-fish performed in accordance with OECD TG 203 and EU Method C.1 the test material was dosed at nominal concentrations of 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6 and 10 mg/L to 7 fish per dose. The dose concentrations were chosen using two range finding studies. A blank control was run in conjunction with the final test. Results of a positive control study on pentachlorophenol (PCP) were appended to the study to confirm sensitivity of the test system.
Analysis of samples taken at the start and after 72 hours of exposure of the freshly prepared test solutions showed that measured concentrations were in agreement with nominal. The 10 mg/L solution remained stable in the 24 hours before renewal of the test solutions. At nominal 3.2 mg/L the test concentration remained fairly stable, but at nominal 1.0 mg/L actual test concentrations generally decreased significantly. The reason is unknown.
The biological results showed that the nominal test concentrations of 1.0 and 1.8 mg/L were toxicologically not relevant for determination of an LC50 value. As nominal concentrations of 3.2 and 10 mg/L were in agreement it was expected that the actual concentration at 5.6 mg/L would also be in agreement with nominal. Therefore LC50 and NOEC values were based on nominal concentrations.
The study met the acceptability criteria and was considered valid.
Under the conditions of the study, the test material produced no visble effects in zebra-fish at or below 3.2 mg/L (NOEC).
The 96 h LC50 was 4.2 mg/L (95% CL = 3.2 - 5.6 mg/L) based on analytically confirmed nominal exposure concentrations (with 0% mortality at 3.2 mg/L and 100% mortality at 5.6 mg/L) and was already reached after 48 hours of exposure.

Additional information
One reliable study is available. In this study performed under GLP according to OECD TG 203 groups of seven Danio rerio (Zebra fish) were exposed to the substance under semi-static conditions for 96 hours at nominal concentrations of 0, 1.0, 1.8, 3.2, 5.6 or 10 mg/L [Bouwman LM (2004)]. The 96 -h LC50 was 4.2 mg/L based on nominal test concentrations.
