- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The test item had no acute toxic effects on juvenile zebra fish (Danio rerio) up to the threshold concentration of 6.2 mg/L. According to the threshold approach, it was demonstrated that the test organism fish is not the most sensitive species for the test item and that the 96-hour LC50 for fish is greater than the
threshold concentration of 6.2 mg/L.

Additional information
One experimental study is available, in which the acute short-term toxicity of the test item to zebra fish (Danio rerio) was determined in a 96 -hour test according to GLP and OECD guideline 203.
A limit test was performed to demonstrate that the test organism fish is not the most sensitive test organism to the test item compared to algae and daphnia. The test method is based on the threshold approach as developed for chemical substances at the European Commission’s joint Research Centre. The selected treshold concentration of 7.0 mg/L corresponded approximately to the lower EC50 value determined in an algae study (OECD 201) and an acute daphnia study (OECD 202).
The lower EC50 value was determined in the algae test to be 1.6 mg/L, based on growth rate.
As the test item is a volatile substance, the test was performed in closed glass vessels (closed system without head space) completely filled with test medium, to avoid potential losses of test item by evaporation. A semi-static test design with daily water renewal was chosen to keep the concentration of the test item as constant as possible during the exposure period and to provide sufficient oxygen saturation in the closed system.
During the test medium renewal period of 24 hours the test item concentration slightly decreased. At the end of the test medium renewal periods, 84 to 86% of the nominal concentration was found.
Due to the decrease of test item concentration, the biological results were based on the mean measured concentration of 6.2 mg/L (calculated as the arithmetic mean of the four geometric means determined for the four 24-hour test medium renewal periods). During the 96-hour exposure period, no death and visible toxic signs were observed in the control group and the exposed group. No behavioral abnormalities were recorded. Based on the arithmetic mean measured concentrations of the test item, the LC50 (96 h) was > 6.2 mg/L.
