Purity: 99.5% (GC)

Analytical monitoring:

no

Vehicle:

yes

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Chemical name of vehicle (organic solvent, emulsifier or dispersant): HCO-40
- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) at different concentrations and in control(s)):
Test item: 100 mg/L , Vehicle: 4 g/L

Test organisms (species):

freshwater

Limit test:

yes

Total exposure duration:

96 h

Post exposure observation period:

no

Test temperature:

24.5 +/- 0.8 °C

Nominal and measured concentrations:

100 mg/L

Details on test conditions:

10 fish per 4 L

Reference substance (positive control):

not specified

Duration:

96 h

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect conc.:

> 100 mg/L

Nominal / measured:

meas. (initial)

Conc. based on:

test mat.

Basis for effect:

mortality (fish)

Remarks on result:

other: with HCO-40 as solibiliser

Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Mortality of control: 0 % after 96 hours

Mortality in %

Sample		Mortality / [%]
Test Material	Concentration / [mg/L]	24 h	48 h	72 h	96 h
Test material (+vehicle)	100	0	0	0	0

The concentration tested was above the solubility limit of the pure test substance. To achive the exposure concentrations, solubiliser was used.

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The LC50 of the test material exceeds 100 mg/L and is clearly above the limit of water solubility.

Executive summary:

The information for this endpoint study record was obtained from an experimental study. The OECD GLP criteria were met and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 203. The LC50 of the test material exceeds 100 mg/L and is clearly above the limit of water solubility.
