EC number: 202-716-0 | CAS number: 98-95-3
Long-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- fish short-term toxicity test on embryo and sac-fry stages
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- "The effect values found are usually very low compared to effect values found by other authors. No explanation for these large discrepancies could be found. It was not possible to reproduce the effect values found in this study. Hence, it was decided not to use these data for a derivation of a PNECaqua if other valid fish early life stage tests are available." From EU-RAR, Nitrobenzene, 2007
