Stock solution was analyzed for ZK 482803 by DOC measurement; test concentrations were extrapolated.

Conclusions:
The toxicity parameters of test substance to Desmodesmus subspicatus (algae) were:-EC50(72h), biomass: 19 mg/L-NOEC (72h), biomass: <1.56 mg/L-EC50(72h), growth rate: 99 mg/L-NOEC (72h), growth rate: 1.56 mg/L
Executive summary:

The toxicity to aquatic algae of test substance was performed according to the OECD 201 Guideline under GLP conditions.

Desmodesmus subspicatus were exposed to test substance for 72h. The test substance effects were evaluated based on biomass and growth rate.

The effect parameters (biomass and growth rate based) of test substance to Desmodesmus subspicatus were: EC50(72h), biomass: 19 mg/L; NOEC (72h), biomass: <1.56 mg/L; EC50(72h), growth rate: 99 mg/L; NOEC (72h), growth rate: 1.56 mg/L.
