Conclusions:

Based on mortality of fish due to the exposure of test chemical at nominal concentration 100 mg/l, experimental median lethal Concentrations [LC-50 (96 h)] on Zebra fish(Danio rerio)was determine to be > 100 mg/l.

Executive summary:

Fish Acute Toxicity test according to OECD Guideline 203 was conducted for test chemical. The stock solution was prepared as 400mg/4L, with the concentration of 100mg/L, and was kept for 24 hr stirring. After this filter the stock, give it for analytical detection and then stock taken for experiment.

The test was performed on the limit concentration i.e nominal concentration selected for the experiment were 100 mg/L and test fish were exposed to these concentration for 96 hours. After 96hrs of exposure LC0, LC50 and LC100 was observed. Effect on the symptoms and the normal activity was checked in the interval of 24rs. pH, tempterature and dissolved oxygen was also checked.

The lethal concentrations LC50 was determine to be >100 mg/L

LC0 (96 hours) (highest loading at which no mortality was observed) = 100 mg/L

LC50 (96 hours) Experimental = >100 mg/L

LC100 (96 hours) (lowest loading at which 100% mortality was observed) =No mortality was observed

Thus based on the LC50 it can be concluded that the test chemical was nontoxic and can be consider to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
