Results and discussion
Effect concentrations
- Remarks on result:
- other: Not applicable
- Details on results:
- Nitrate ion is one of the most important nitrogen-sources for aquatic organisms, especially for algae.
They use it as a primary feed-stock for they development. In fact nitrate, with other inorganic nitrogen forms and phosphorous sources is the main responsible for the eutrophication phenomena:
[...]it can stimulate or enhance the development, maintenance and proliferation of primary producers, resulting in eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems [...]
Due to this effect, no toxicity can be evaluated for nitrate ion on algae.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In water, ADN undergoes to photodegradation into nitrate. For aquatic algae nitrate is a nitrogen source for their development, so no toxicity has been reported.
