Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
other: EbC50
Effect conc.:
30.7 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
biomass
Details on results:
EbC50 was 30.7 mg/l (effective) after 96 hours, in a test carried out according to the OECD TG 201
towards Selenastrum capricornutum. For the endpoint growth rate an ErC50 of 110.9 mg/l was
obtained. Concentrations were measured via HPLC (CERI, 1996c).
